I love this image ! I am a midwife and this image depicts so much about the end of pregnancy. I am going to use it to illustrate both the beauty and challenges of having a human being growing in a woman's body ! Thanks <3
With two freckled hands I create
Drawing, painting and writing feel good to me. I can't seem to remember a time when I haven't been creating anything, something for that matter. Life and family inspire me. My artwork is whimsically detailed and painstakingly created.
Since the age of 17 I have been employed in the arts, sewing and design industries. I've more that doubled in age since and still love it. I am formally trained as an illustrator, surface and graphic designer.
And recently, I completed an amazing array of spot illustrations for Stonehammer Geo Park in province of New Brunswick and continue to create for both online and offline exhibits.
Having partnered recently with my boyfriend, Chris Day, we have begun manufacturing totes, bags and purses from scratch and screenprinting original art on them.
We produce 5500 bags annually for the Born to Read of New Brunswick. Every newborn in the province receives a tote while in hospital full of children's books. we are honoured to be a part of this program.

Technical Abstract: Diet selection of grazing animals is influenced by the sward composition and the vertical sward structure. A grazing study was established to determine if selective grazing behaviour affects the sward structure among different sward layers. Replicated pastures (1 ha each) were planted including mixtures of two (grass, white clover), and nine temperate forage species (included forage chicory). The vertical structure was measured with special clipboards and divided into six layers and the different plant groups. Forage samples of the different layers were analysed for nutritive value via calibrated near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. Calibration samples were analysed for neutral detergent fiber (NDF), in-vitro true digestibility (IVTD) and crude protein (CP). The measurements were conducted in 4 grazing periods during the grazing season. The nine-species mixture out yielded the two-species mixture. The deep rooting chicory was particularly productive due to the very hot dry weather conditions in the experiment. Cows tended to graze layer by layer. The results of the stratified samples showed more selection behaviour among the top layers than the bottom layers. Cows prefer legume to grass and young chicory leafs to bolted chicory stems. The management of pastures including forage chicory is very demanding, especially during periods when the phenological development of chicory becomes reproductive.

Clint Eastwood wants to Cast Joaquin Phoenix in J. Edgar Hoover Biopic
Director Clint Eastwood is prepping up to shoot his next film Hoover, based on the life of FBI's J. Edgar Hoover. Leonardo DiCaprio is already cast in the lead role of Hoover, and the deal is being finalized. Vulture is now reporting that Eastwood wants to cast Joaquin Phoenix in the film as well.
Phoenix is the directors number one pick to take on the role of Clyde Tolson, Hoovers paramour and protege. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the relationship Tolson had with Hoover, he was the associate director of the FBI from 1947 to 1972, Tolson was in daily close contact with Hoover at the office, but even more interesting, the pair also dined, socialized in night clubs, and even vacationed together. Word on the streets of history are that they were gay lovers.
The script for the film was written by Milk director Dustin Lance Black and the story "explores the two men's complicated relationship; neither man ever admitted to being gay, and Hoover was known for hunting down and intimidating those who dared questioned his sexual preference while he was alive. But Hoover's actions in death seem to suggest they were more than simply pals in life: When Hoover died, Tolson was not only the beneficiary of Hoover's life-insurance policy, he also inherited Hoover's estate and moved into his house. At Hoover's funeral, he accepted the U.S. flag draped over Hoover's coffin, and today, Tolson's grave is a few yards from Hoover's in the Congressional Cemetery."
This is just the kind of role that Phoenix needs if he is looking to be taken seriously as an actor again. Going off and doing that fake documentary wasn't the smartest decision he's made in his career.
What do you think about Phoenix possibly being cast as Tolson in Eastwood's next film?

A supermarket in Canberra's south was robbed at gunpoint on Sunday.
ACT Policing said a man entered the Swinger Hill supermarket about 11.45am with what appeared to be a bolt-action rifle.
He demanded cash, which staff handed over, before fleeing in a silver Hyundai Excel with a miniature rear spoiler.
No one was hurt during the incident.
The man is described as between 180-186cm (6'0"-6'2") in height, with a solid build. At the time of the incident, he was wearing a white hooded jumper, long brown pants, sunglasses and black gloves. He had an Australian accent.
Police are urging anyone who may be able to assist in the investigation contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via the website.
Later on Sunday, police made an arrest within 90 minutes of an alleged petrol station robbery in Canberra's north.
About 9.45pm on Sunday, a man allegedly went to the counter of the Coles Express service station in Dickson, and asked staff for cash.
According to staff, the man then became aggressive, prompting the attendant to call police, before he allegedly took an item and left.
But by 11pm, police had already been to a house in Lyneham and arrested a 22-year-old man over the incident. He was charged with theft and attempted robbery, and is due to appear in the ACT Magistrates Court on Monday morning.

Fawn Liebowitz was an unseen, fictional character created for the 1978 movie National Lampoon's Animal House. In the movie, she was a 20 year old sophomore at Emily Dickinson College, in nearby Wounded Deer, Massachusetts. A sociology major from Fort Wayne, Indiana, she was tragically killed in a kiln explosion, while firing a pot in the new kiln in Sylvia Plath Hall on campus.[1]
Fawn's death was exploited by Eric "Otter" Stratton, who pretended to be Fawn's fiancé Frank Lymon, in order to score a date with Fawn's roommate, Shelly Dubinsky. The "road trip" to Emily Dickinson College was based on a real-life incident with a fraternity brother of Animal House writer Chris Miller. When that brother saw the film for the first time, he stood up in the theater and proudly yelled out, "That was me!"[2]
In popular cultureEdit
Fawn Liebowitz is the name of a Fort Wayne-based band which began life as 2 Ton Heavy Thing, a group that played regularly at Columbia Street West and at the Latch String Inn beginning in 1994. By 1998, 2 Ton Heavy Thing had evolved into Fawn Liebowitz, minus the contributions of Paul Siefert and Bill York. With its core of seven musicians, all in their early 30s, Fawn Liebowitz has done a fair amount of touring in the central Midwest, and has played several times at a large outdoor concert in Columbus, Ohio.[3]
The band's first CD release Loyalty came out in 1999. Their current lineup includes Paul Stephens, singer and acoustic guitar player; Kent Klee, drummer, Tim Beeler on bass, electric and acoustic guitar and banjo; Steven Wright on guitars, dobro and percussion; Jeff Adams on soprano, alto and tenor sax; Todd Jordan on piano, organ, synthesizer and accordion; and back-up singer Susan Plumb. Also appearing on their second CD Bug, are singers Joy Haberkorn and Angie Karapantos.[3]

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Senior wide receiver Joel Carey (South Pomfret, VT) caught a 29-yard touchdown pass from Zach Matthews (Sanford, ME) with 2:43 remaining Saturday to give Plymouth State College a thrilling 25-20 win over WPI at Currier Field.
PSC, which finishes the regular season at 7-3 overall and 4-2 in the Freedom Football Conference, awaits an ECAC play-off bid to be given out Sunday night. WPI concludes its season at 4-5 overall and 3-3 in the FFC.
"I'm leading a charmed life with our quarterback situation," said PSC head coach Mike Kemp, referring to Matthews second-half performance. "Zach had been struggling so we decided to start Eric Rush (Hampton, NH) for the second week in-a-row. Eric did a good job for us but we felt we needed to generate some yards through the air and Zach did just that."
WPI had a chance to win the game in the waning seconds when it had the ball on the Panther 10-yard line but PSC's Jason Marcell (Stoughton, MA) broke up a pass in the end zone with no time on the clock.
"This was definitely a huge win," said Carey, who had three receptions for 51 yards. "It was a bittersweet victory after a last second loss at their place last year."
In a see-saw battle, the Panthers took a 19-13 lead with 5:32 left in the fourth quarter. Senior fullback Bryan Sinatro (West Hartford, CT) capped a 67-yard drive when he rumbled in from five yards out, breaking a 13-all 13 tie. Von Thiphasouk's (Nashua, NH) extra-point attempt was blocked.
WPI came right back 40 seconds later to go ahead 20-19 when quarterback John Riccio (Southington, CT) hit Matt Surrette (Spencer, MA) with a 37-yard touchdown pass down the right sideline. That score was set up by a 52 yard kick-off return by Matt Seitz (Milford, MA).
On the ensuing WPI kick-off, Plymouth State's Brent Bardellini (Milford, MA) returned the ball 42 yards to the Engineer 36, setting up Carey's heroics.
"Joel Carey made a huge play for us," said Kemp. "Today we honored our seniors and you like to see them make those types of plays in a big game."
Plymouth State opened the scoring late in the first quarter when quarterback Eric Rush (Hampton, NH) hit Sam Carey (Hooksett, NH) with a 25 yard touchdown pass. . The Panthers got deep into WPI territory after Jared Lachapelle (Northbridge, MA) fumbled a Bob Maylone (Manchester, NH) punt at Engineer 19 yard line. After a holding penalty, Rush found Carey on a roll out giving the Panthers an early lead. Thiphasouk added the extra point for PSC.
WPI answered late in the second quarter when Nicholas Fluet (Leominster, MA) caught a 15 yard touchdown pass from Riccio. Joshua Morrison's (Alstead, NH) extra point tied the score 7-7.
The Panthers regained the lead mid way through the third quarter when running back Jeff Parker (Norwich, NY) trotted in from five yards out for his ninth touchdown of the season. Thiphasouk's kick was blocked, leaving PSC with a 13-7 lead.
Fluet tied the score, 13-13, late in the third quarter with a seven yard run. PSC again blocked the extra point attempt by Morrison keeping the score tied.
Plymouth State, which ran for 195 yards on the afternoon, was led by Russ Massahos (Windham, NH) and Parker, who had 91 and 65 yards respectively. Sinatro added 44 yards on just eight carries.
"One of our goals for the season was to get into the play-offs and win a game," said Kemp. "Now it looks like we have that chance and fortunately we are playing our best football right now."
WPI received a fine effort from All-American tight end Surrette who caught eight passes for 157 yards and one touchdown.

Heat-related illness and deaths occur throughout the United States, especially in areas such as New Orleans where high heat is combined with high humidity and long periods without rain. The key is to remember that these types of illnesses and deaths are preventable.
Heat stroke and heat exhaustion happen when the body cannot cool itself properly. Sweating becomes the body's primary cooling mechanism. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), problems may develop when the body cannot produce enough sweat or the sweat it does produce evaporates too quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly.
As locals, we have adapted to the heat pretty well, but our heat and humidity can be dangerous, particularly for those new to the area and for those very young or old among us, says Dr. John Wales, medical director of the East Jefferson General Hospital Emergency Department.
"I am very concerned about those coming in from out of town to work on houses and volunteer in the area. They need to be educated on what our heat can do or they are going to run into real trouble."
Everyone needs to take precautions before going outside, especially in the early part of summer as our bodies begin to adjust to the increased temperatures. Whether you are exercising, mowing the lawn or just enjoying a picnic, many of the same rules apply. Drink plenty of fluids and do not wait until you are thirsty. Avoid alcohol, large amounts of sugar and caffeine because they can cause fluid loss.
Wear light, loose-fitting clothes, a brimmed hat and sunglasses. Apply sunscreen of at least SPF 15 or higher approximately 30 minutes before you go outside to avoid sunburn.
Other ways to avoid heat-related illnesses is simply to plan your day sensibly and pace yourself. You should not over-exert yourself during physical activities, and if you plan to be outside, make it in the morning or later in the day so you are not in the heat during the hottest part of the day. Ultimately, your best line of defense is to stay indoors in the air conditioning when the heat is at its peak.
When you are outside, always look for early signs and symptoms of heat stroke, heat exhaustion and dehydration. The CDC reports that the warning signs include red, hot skin, a lack of sweating, weakness or dizziness, headaches, nausea or vomiting and confusion. If you notice any of these symptoms developing, immediately drink cool fluids, rest and get in the shade or air conditioning. If you do start feeling a little lightheaded or if it seems you are not handling the heat very well, get inside as quickly as you can, drink fluids and stop exerting yourself, Dr. Wales says. If the symptoms persist, seek medical attention.

FORMER Swindon head coach Neil Loader admitted he is both scared and excited after being handed the reigns at Gloucestershire giants Cinderford.
Having left his hometown club in the summer of 2013 following four successful years, a brief spell working with the backs at Wootton Bassett was followed by six months in charge of lowly Salisbury, but Loader has now been given a chance to lead Cinderford in National One, the third tier of English rugby.
The move to such a high-profile side, where success is expected, is a significant step up for Loader, who has also enjoyed a spell coaching at the top of the Italian game, and while he's excited to get going he also knows his new role brings with it a lot more pressure.
"I heard that the job was going to be advertised so I kept a look out for it, I applied and was lucky enough to get interviewed which I was very flattered by," he said.
"Then I got offered the job and it's a massive honour for me because Cinderford are a huge club in this area.
"If you go down the list of clubs in the area and go past the likes of Bristol, Bath and Gloucester you get to Cinderford, they're the next biggest, so to be given a chance there is amazing,.
"There are 2,000 clubs in the RFU and Cinderford are inside the top 40, so that just shows how big they are, they're probably at the same level as Swindon Town if you put it in a football context.
"It's scary and exciting at the same time because it's a club who set really high standards for themselves and it's results driven, rather than working at a community club like I have been before.
"They know what they want and they expect to be successful, there's no doubt about that, so there is certainly some pressure there."
While Loader is yet to assess the players he has at his disposal at his new club, he admitted the jump up in class may deter him from returning to his former clubs in Wiltshire to bring in bodies.
"It's a really big jump up in standard in truth, moving up from level six to level three so we will have to see," he said.
"The first thing to do is to meet and talk about the coaching set-up and then look at the players which are existing there before we think about any gaps which need to be filled."

THE pupil takes on the master when the Foster's Golden Cue competition reaches its climax on Sunday.
The winner of the large table and small table events will battle it out at Ighten Leigh Social Club for the right to be crowned overall champion.
And the showdown throws up an intriguing battle as Large Table champion, Glenn Stevenson used to coach Small Table winner Wayne Cotterill when he was a talented teenager.
Master blaster Stevenson rolled back the years to win the Large Table final crown – a title he last won 26 years ago.
Stevenson, who last won the title in 1988, was in white-hot form as he overcame another former champion Russell Large 4-0 in front of a bumper crowd at Ighten Leigh Social Club.
It was a lot closer in the Small Table final where Cotterill beat Steve Almond 3-2. Cotterill took the first two frames, but then opponent Steve Almond got his eye in and turned the tables to leave the outcome of the final on a knife edge at 2-2.
But then Cotterill took charge, rattling in a splendid clearance of 75 to take the title.
"We are all looking forward to the Grand Final," said event organiser secretary Neil McGovern.
"It promises to be a superb match."

There are three things to note in this story about a large group of youths, and how they spent a beautiful spring day in Chicago on Saturday:
- What the media reported.
- What actually happened.
- What people said in the comments of the story in response to what actually happened and how it was reported.
The media report from CBS 2 in Chicago was Orwellian in its attempt to spin the events as merely youthful hijinks perpetrated by featureless, restless beings of adolescent nature:
The warmest day of the year so far brings hundreds of mischievous teens to Michigan Avenue. Police are calling it "mob action."
CBS 2 is learning about multiple incidents in at least four different locations along the Magnificent Mile and in the Gold Coast, yielding a slew of arrests.
Many innocent shoppers and tourists became caught in the middle of a very chaotic situation. Hundreds of teens littered Michigan Avenue and State Street near Chicago.
"You had a group of teens, close to maybe 500. They assaulted a Chicago police officer that was mounted on a horse and all of a sudden they assaulted a citizen walking the streets, just a normal citizen shopping and enjoying the weather," said Holmes.
The CBS reporter of this story, Courtney Gousman, did everything she possibly could to portray the events in Chicago on Saturday as some sort of playful excess of youthful enthusiasm, just a bunch of "mischievous teens" out having good clean fun… perhaps something like this.
Of course, that isn't remotely what occurred, and Gousman and everyone else in Chicago know what really happened beyond the coded speech. The Chicago Police Department correctly identified the incident a riot, and the crowd sentiment was probably quite a bit closer to this than Hello, Dolly!
What actually happened was that a mob of black thugs took part in an apparently pre-planned attack on mostly white shoppers in a mostly white and wealthy neighborhood.
Let's be perfectly clear; as far as riots go, this wasn't the most violent, and the injuries, property destruction and looting reported appears to have been comparatively minimal by Chicago standards (no one died, nothing was burned out/down, stores weren't cleaned out, arrests were generally misdemeanors, etc). Those facts allowed, it was a race riot, and it was intentionally downplayed by the fig leaf of a black reporter, working for a liberal new organization, attempting to cover for a liberal mayor, who is reaping the whirlwind of decades of liberal misrule, neglect, and failed social engineering.
Chicago Democrats have created (and continue to increase the volatility of) a toxic stew of racialism, hopelessness, entitlement, and anger. Barack Obama not only continued this dangerous trend in his time in Chicago, he has expanded it nationwide, and accelerated it. A man of two races who chose long ago to identify as one, he has failed not just both races, but all, becoming the most racially divisive President in modern American history, entirely by willful choice.
The result of this festering cesspool of racism that is Chicago is the in-kind blowback in the comments of the story. The words are pure hate, but what drives such visceral hatred being so openly displayed?
And it gets worse:
And stays vicious:
The steeping hostility between various social, economic, political and racial groups seems on the verge of rising to a boil just months into President Obama's second term, and it frequently feels that decades of attempted racial reconciliation could be undone by this one Presidency.
Barack Obama and his 2008 campaign promises of "hope" and "change" not only seem empty these days, they seem like punchlines to jokes about us (the American people) that we were never supposed to figure out.

Major retailers from Target to Macy's reported weak November sales as the strong start to the holiday shopping season â¿¿ including a good showing on the day after Thanksgiving â¿¿ wasn't enough to fully offset the damage caused by Sandy earlier in the month. The storm stunted enthusiasm among shoppers during the first couple of weeks of November just as stores were preparing for the busiest shopping period of the year, a roughly two-month stretch at the end of the year when retailers can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. ___ Pay a penalty? Biz owners face health care dilemma NEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Rose Wang looks at her staff of 70 employees and wonders if she'll have to lay off some of them to comply with the health care law. The owner of Binary Group Inc., an information technology firm based in Alexandria, Va., is one of many small business owners who will be required to provide health insurance for her staffers under a provision of the law that goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Wang already provides insurance, but she has struggled with premiums that have soared as much as 60 percent annually, so she requires employees to contribute to their coverage. She's worried because she doesn't know how much she'll have to pay under the Affordable Care Act. Wang's worry is a gut-wrenching dilemma that many small business owners are concerned that they may face. Now that President Barack Obama has won re-election, the health care overhaul, which presidential candidate Mitt Romney promised to dismantle, is marching forward. Companies must decide before the start of 2014 what they'll do to comply with the law. Right now, no one knows how much the insurance will cost, and owners aren't sure if they'd be better off not buying it and paying a government a penalty of $2,000 per worker. Some owners are even threatening to defy the law. The big challenge for most small businesses is that they just don't have enough information to make concrete plans.

Flix for Short: CodeHackerz
2:00 PM on 02.19.2013 // Nick Valdez@Valdezology
CodeHackerz, by Jonathan Franco, Matthew Levenstein, and Micheal Parks for the Univeristy of Central Florida's Campus MovieFest, is a spoof of all of the terrible "computer hacking" in films from the late 90s-early 2000s. There's not a lot of dialogue (and what's present is deliciously cheesy), but everything about the short film makes it work. From its short run time (before the idea grows stale), its premise (two individuals have to delete a meteor), from its soundtrack, and finally to its fantastically twisted ending. You should give it a watch.

A LICENCE allowing farmers to shoot badgers in West Somerset in a bid to combat the spread of TB in cattle has been issued.
Natural England granted the licence to a specially-formed company for just under a 100 square mile area of land.
It means the people covered by the licence can shoot badgers in the pilot zone for six weeks annually for four years.
Culling can begin once the dates and quota of badgers that can be shot have been confirmed.

"I ordered bridal shower invitations. I was so impressed with the Design and quality! I just ordered and received the wedding invitations. The colors, design and the quality so beautiful!! I would definately reccomend Wedding Paper Divas!!!"
"I got these to match my invites and got several compliments on our invitations. We were doing online RSVP's so we used these to direct people to our wedding website, and only sent response cards to our older relatives and those not as internet savvy. I went for the rounded corners, and upgraded pearlized paper. My experience with Wedding Paper Divas was great. The design team were very helpful in adjusting my custom colour until it was just right. Very fast shipping as well. Highly recommended!"
"The designers were able to customize the reception cards to list my accoomdation information instead. They came out great!"
"I love the Simple Farm collection for the different sketches on each card. The cow and barn are so adorable, yet don't look cheesy - very simple and elegant. We put our invited together in a pocket fold, and this card fits nicely in the pocket."
"Instead of using for reception information, we used this to direct our guests to our website with details of the destination wedding."

Review Roundup: DANGEROUS BEAUTY
Pasadena Playhouse, the State Theatre of California, and Tony-nominated director Sheryl Kaller (Broadway's Next Fall and Off-Broadway's Adrift in Macao) present DANGEROUS BEAUTY, starring Jenny Powers (Broadway's Grease as Rizzo and Little Women as Meg) as Veronica Franco. The world premiere musical features book and verse by Jeannine Dominy (Warner Bros' Dangerous Beauty and Fox's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir), lyrics by Amanda McBroom(Pasadena Playhouse's Heartbeats and "The Rose"/Bette Midler) and music by Michele Brourman (TV's The Land Before Time andUniversal Studios' The Little Engine that Could) and will be presented in association with Susan Dietz and Tara Smith. The production opens on February 13, 2011, at Pasadena Playhouse (39 South El Molino Avenue).
DANGEROUS BEAUTY, based on a true story, tells the tumultuous tale of Veronica Franco, a celebrated courtesan/poet of 16th century Venice. Forced to become a courtesan when her family fortune is lost, preventing her from marrying the man she loves, Veronica ultimately embraces the courtesan life because it affords her extraordinary education and access. It is not long before she is the most influential woman in the cultural and political life of her beloved city. As Veronica's star rises, however, Venice is ravaged by war, plague, and the Inquisition. When Veronica finds herself on trial for witchcraft, she realizes that only her personal integrity can save her. DANGEROUS BEAUTY is adapted from the New Regency screenplay The Honest Courtesan written byJeannine Dominy, released as the film Dangerous Beauty and inspired by the scholarly book The Honest Courtesan by USC Professor Margaret Rosenthal.For additional information visitwww.PasadenaPlayhouse.org
Don Grigware, BWW: The cast and creative team of this production are astounding. Brourman's and McBroom's music is gorgeous, direction by Sheryl Kaller top notch and the acting divine. Jenny Powers as Veronica is amazing at every turn; she remains a tower of strength and sings beautifully. Her final scenes are exhilarating. Snyder as Marco Venier is at once seductive, honest, sincere and riveting and an equally magnificent singer.
Megan McGinnis as Marco's disillusioned married sister Beatrice is sweet and lovely; Robins cunning yet forthright as Veronica's mother; Michael Rupert gentle as Marco's uncle/poet Domenico; Wood appropriately envious yet sympathetic as Marco's wife Guilia. Bryce Ryness as Marco's cousin Maffio, the bitterly unhappy bard offers a tour-de-force performance as the despiccable, pitiless soul, who out of emptiness joins the ranks of the Inquisition.
Charles McNulty, LA Times: Splashy commercial musicals tend to do well at the box office, even mediocre ones with challenging source material and erratic artistic control. But is this really the path that Pasadena Playhouse believes will rejuvenate its standing? Broadway doesn't need any more suppliers of second-rate goods, but the region could use a dignified venue for authentic, homegrown work.

Designer Spotlight: Lisa Jones
While Lisa Jones is more of a sculptor than a designer, I couldn't resist showing you her beautiful, imaginative sculptural works. Some of her objects, such as the Symbiosis Chair Series, are beautiful riffs on interior decor, while others, such as the Pipe Series, are brilliantly abstract in their execution. I especially love the coral motifs in the Symbiosis series: Perhaps she's been influenced by the Great Barrier Reef?
Showing primarily in Sydney, where she also earned her Masters of VIsual Arts, in her artist's statement Lisa writes:
Within my sculptural objects a language of internal opposition exists that informs the whole. This apparently conflicting exchange defines the work through the tension between order and chaos; the organic and the refined; repetition and divergence; progress and reversal.The resulting sculptures are not what they appear to be. Seemingly solid forms are in fact rigid, hollow sacks that define the volumes they describe.Their organic forms and the materials of their composition evoke a strong sensory experience of their tactility, provoking a desire to touch.

Hair is a complex structure that can be broken down in to four parts: the follicle, hair bulb, hair root and hair shaft.
DuPont™ Glypure® glycolic acid has always had strong consumer recognition as an ingredient in many antiaging skin care products. It has been known to normalize the process of keratinization and therefore improve the look of skin. Extensive clinical data shows that glycolic acid penetrates the skin effectively and stimulates cellular activity, supporting its use in a wide range of applications, including skin care exfoliants, moisturizing lotions and creams, wrinkle reduction creams and antiaging creams.
Trading on this knowledge, DuPont, with the help of Textile Research Institute (TRI) in Princeton, New Jersey, investigated the role its brand of glycolic acid, DuPont™ Glypure® could play in the formulation of hair care products.
The findings were telling. When glycolic acid is added to hair care products, it delivers important benefits, resulting in healthier hair by enhancing protection and manageability of both healthy and bleached hair through cuticle conditioning and cortex strengthening. The cuticle and cortex are important components of hair structure.
Hair is a complex structure that can be broken down in to four parts: the follicle, hair bulb, hair root and hair shaft—see Figure 1. The shaft consists of the cuticle, cortex and medulla. The cuticle layer is responsible for visual attributes like shine and smoothness and is also responsible for friction effect, which determines manageability. Repeated grooming, as well as chemical treatments can easily damage this layer. The cortex contains pigment and controls structural integrity, strength, swelling and stretching of hair. All of these individual hair structures are subject to degradation from normal everyday grooming, bleaching, washing and drying.
Experiments conducted by DuPont and TRI revealed that DuPont™ Glypure® improves strength and reduces the incidence of breakage, and lubricates and protects hair even at higher temperatures, enabling the use of high-temperature hair styling appliances. In addition, glycolic acid adds moisture to the scalp, thereby reducing dryness and flaking.
The experiments conducted included: tensile strength, repeated brushing, wet combing and differential scanning calorimetry (the temperature at which water separates from keratin and the temperature at which keratin denatures).

Michael Jackson's doctor's office raided by DEA
The LAPD and DEA raided the office of Michael Jackson's live-in physician Dr. Conrad Murray this morning in an effort to find out who's responsible for the pop star's death. ABC News reports:
The officials said the agents had obtained a search warrant for this morning's raid based on the preliminary results of Jackson's autopsy which showed the cause of death to be connected to the anesthetic drug Propofol.
Murray was the last doctor to see Jackson alive and federal agents want to know if he administered the Propofol, which is normally only used in hospital operating rooms.
Murray and his lawyer have refused to answer questions about whether he administered the powerful drug to Jackson.
His lawyer said Murray "should not be a target of criminal charges."
Usually when someone refuses to answer a straight-forward question, it's because they're guilty as fuck. Take it from a guy who's tried to plead the fifth numerous times during child support hearings. Every single one of those kids was mine. Except #86. Maybe.

I want to compress voice data for transfer over
network,who could tell me about algorithm?
I want to compress voice data for transfer over
network,who could tell me about algorithm?
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Basically, what I did was take the FFT of a 16-bit audio stream and discarded non-voice frequencies, as well as frequencies with small amplitudes. Then I mapped the three components (frequency, amplitude, and phase) to 8-bit representations (so 3 bytes per spectral component). Finally, I compressed the result using arithmetic coding. The last step helped, but wasn't domain-specific enough to produce really spectacular compression; the correlation between each frame within the sample wasn't really exploited properly. For example, consider the ZIP archive format. It works really well with text because there is a direct correlation between each byte of data. But if you apply it to a buffer of 32-bit data, the efficiency typically goes down because the relationship between the data on a byte level is somewhat artificial. The key to achieving really good compression, then, is to model those inter-relationships as faithfully as possible. That said, the result was definitely satisfactory. Compression levels averaged out to roughly 10% - 33% of the uncompressed size, and the voice quality was decent. Had the second step been better modeled, I imagine those figures would have been half as much.

If I use 8-bit or 16-bit, what is the range about non-voice frequencies?

Last week I talked about preparing the attack on procrastination. Today, I want to talk about understanding what makes it tick and why we are procrastinating to begin with – the source of procrastination on earth, if you will.
As you probably know, we were hunters and gatherers thousands of years ago. We needed to get our own food and complete our to-do list in order to survive. We managed our time according to our survival instinct.
The thing is, as we developed technology, our own evolution was stunted. Our brain is more or less the same brain, and our instincts (though dimmed by thousands of years of not being connected to the wild) are the same hunter instincts.
Hunters needed the following skills to survive:
Pursue the prey – Great speed and reflexes that enable us to run. We were not meant to sit in one place for too long. That's why we're impulsive.
Subdue the prey – Powerful bursts of power increase our exhaustion mentally and physically. Often, we leave everything for the last minute, and try to quickly finish everything at the last minute…leaving us exhausted.
Cook the prey – Finally cooking and eating the food was our reward. Although today, we often don't reward ourselves for accomplishing our tasks.
So, the reason you are can't stop procrastinating is because you are a hunter, right? Let's assume that you can work with your hunter mind and skills to help you stop procrastinating.
How would a hunter tackle procrastination?
#1 Use traps. Good hunters are hunters that don't burn energy running after prey.
You can achieve much more by automation. task management tools and methods that can help you concentrate all your efforts and manage everything from one place. Use it so you won't get distracted or get concerned that you are missing something. That way, everything is handed to you and arranged for you.
#2 Set yourself on a path. Pick up the scent and make sure that nothing distracts you.
Use these mini-tips to help you:
– When you sit and work, have a snack next to you.
– Make a list of milestones and tasks to complete – then prioritize.
– Before you start a task, break it down into smaller tasks.
– Don't multitask. Complete the most important tasks first and then move to the next one.
#3 Sharpen your spear!
Grab a tool, grab a technique and start practicing them repeatedly until they become second nature. Practice makes perfect, and repetition makes a habit.
#4 Use your bow and arrow until you hit the target, and then repeat!
Make sure you set your targets and do everything you can do to achieve them. Tell yourself why you are doing this task and how achieving your goal will help you progress to the next step. "Measure" the distance between you and your target to estimate exactly what it takes to achieve your goal.
#5 Tell your shaman that you will bring him the finest piece of the kill as an offering.
As I've explained in my previous post, you need to make a public commitment. But, your public commitment is only good if you make it in front of someone that you don't want to disappoint: a mentor figure or someone that you admire and love. Someone who can even teach you how to stop procrastinating.
#6 Save your life by getting rid of unnecessary habits.
Dr. Timothy A. Pychyl, a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Carleton University (Ottawa, Canada), said, "Procrastination is just our involuntary behavior and we're choosing not to override it."
So apparently, procrastination is rooted deep inside us (in our hunter minds) and we are choosing not to fight it. What does that mean? Are we just lazy?
As with any bad habit, we need self-discipline and determination to win the fight. Make the choice to stop Procrastinating and create a new habit called, "Progress!"
#7 When you need to hunt, hunt. When you need to rest, rest.
Save your energy for when you actually do your tasks. Don't think about them before you tackle them. It will only agitate you and it won't get you anywhere. Write your to-dos down and set a time to tackle them.
#8 Discharge your stored energy – go for the kill!
You're all pumped, everything is in place, you've got lists and broken down micro-tasks and you're ready to go! Your prey now steps into the shallow water. All you need to do is open that document, get into that car or make that call. Once you start, the arrow will launch itself hit the mark!
#9 Cook it, eat it and digest!
Create a reward system that will motivate you, but decide that it's only attainable when you achieve your goals. Take a moment to look at what you've accomplished and be proud of your success.
However, even the smartest hunters can be tricked. To stop procrastinating you need to be creative, stay focused and alert even when your environment throws something at you that you didn't expect. When the unexpected comes at you, don't use it as an excuse. Evaluate it, prioritize and continue your hunt!

The Top 10 DC Comics Coming in March 2011
We've been a little busy with the holiday season, but we're back now with our monthly look at the most interesting-looking solicitations for DC Comics. This week we're covering the March 2011 round, with a bunch of Bat-cancellations, the return of Milestone (again) and the long-awaited conclusion of Joe the Barbarian.
James Robinson's run on Justice League of America continues with new artist Brett Booth (Green Lantern: Larfleeze Christmas Special) and the third part of the somewhat mystifying "Reign of Doomsday" crossover. Continuing from last month's Outsiders, and continued in next month's Superboy, the presence of Cyborg Superman in this issue basically confirms that this crossover is Doomsday tearing through all of the replacement Supermen from the seminal '90s Jurgens/Kesel/L. Simonson/Stern "Reign of the Supermen" storyline. James Robinson recently spilled the beans that the fifth part will be in a Superman/Batman Annual, creative team unrevealed, and this must have been a relatively recent turn of events in the DC writer's room since Steve Lyons's Steel oneshot was originally supposed to pit him against Metallo. It's an odd format for a crossover since it seems to be interrupting a bunch of books mid-arc with the regular creative teams in tow, so while I'm skeptical about it as a story I admit I'm interested in where it's going.
This is one of three Batbook cancellations this week, alongside David Hine's Azrael and Legends of the Dark Knight successor Batman Confidential. The writing's been on the wall for a while with this title, with the "House of Hush" storyline continually delayed by fill-ins and Dustin Nguyen announced as taking over art duties on the Batgirl book. This has been a bizarre title, launched alongside Batman and Robin but never really in sync with the other books, dealing largely with continuing Paul Dini's Hush storyline from Detective Comics. For a book that's so solidly built on Paul Dini's name, the number of fill-ins has been astounding, especially unannounced ones, so this is probably putting a title out of its misery.

I spent time this weekend catching up on Levitz's entire new Legion run so far, across Adventure Comics and the main title, and it's remarkable how quickly Levitz has adapted to "modern" comic-writing style. In fact, he's managed to maintain the knack for gigantic character casts that typified his first run while eliminating the thought balloons and dramatic dialogue. When he first was announced as returning to the book, I figured it'd be another out-of-date work from an old dinosaur, but the ongoing Legion saga is frankly one of the best things DC's putting out. As a result, it's probably no surprise that they're giving it a bigger push with this oneshot, which looks to position Levitz's Legion as having a major role in the DCU for 2011, possibly not only in the 31st century. This is one of three Legion books by Levitz coming out this week, including Adventure Comics with Phil Jimenez and the main Legion book with Yildiray Cinar – prolific, on-time and professional, Legion is just a fun superhero comic, and I'm hoping that this will continue that trend.
First off, that's the first Cassaday cover I've been really fond of in a while – after his somewhat lackluster work on Shadowland and Daredevil, there's something to the interplay between Barry and Clark here that's a lot of fun. That said, we here at ComicsAlliance have been pretty hard on Stracyznski's "Grounded" arc so far, but with the arrival of Chris Roberson and the promise of the Gorilla Mob and the Superman Squad, I, at least, am far more optimistic about the future of this title. His issue of Superman/Batman last week featuring Batman and Superman One Million was quite fun, and I'm hoping he can inject some life into this drab, plodding "story."
Phil Hester's first issue of Wonder Woman was honestly the best issue I've read since Greg Rucka's run, reinvigorating Straczynski's "Odyssey" arc with existent characterization and a refocus on reinterpreting Greek mythology through a modern lens. The fact that future solicitations advertise the story as "intensely trippy" only gives me more hope. Psycho's appearance was teased in the last issue as well, with Diana listening to what was either a punk or heavy metal song that seemed to imply his existence. It's still only one issue in, but I'm looking forward to what's coming.
On sale MARCH 16 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
While the Brightest Day series isn't ending until seemingly April (the March solicitations seem to imply this is the penultimate month – I remember Brightest Day and Justice League: Generation Lost were originally announced as 26-issue series, but it seems it's been toned down to 24 as the series went from biweekly to semimonthly – the Green Lantern titles are already moving on into the "War of the Green Lanterns" crossover. Building out of the events in Geoff Johns's Green Lantern, Tony Bedard's Green Lantern Corps and Peter J. Tomasi's Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors, it looks to pit the "Four Musketeers" (Hal, John, Kyle and Guy) against each other for the future of the Green Lantern Corps. It crosses over the four aforementioned titles, and will likely be one of those rare crossovers that actually raises the sales of the low-selling titles in it rather than lowering the sales of the high-selling title. In any case, it's Geoff Johns and Green Lantern, which means this will probably be a hit and a Big Deal for the character's universe.
On sale MARCH 30 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
Artist Francesco Francavilla recently revealed on Twitter that he's actually drawing this issue due to the reconfiguration of the issue contents following DC's elimination of co-features, and this here will probably be the solicitation for #876. Still, this is the continuation of Scott Snyder's run, and if his first issue was any indication of upcoming quality, this is probably going to be a pretty damn good comic. Francavilla's art is incredible, and much better-served here by Scott Snyder's script than in the rather drab Black Panther book by David Liss.
It's finally here! After a raft of delays, it looks like we'll finally get the end of Grant Morrison and Sean Murphy's "world-in-a-wordrobe" style high fantasy which explores the hidden fantasy kingdoms in a house. Despite being a beautifully-drawn comic by one of the best writers in the medium, there's been a surprisingly small amount of discourse over this book, and I suspect that this is due to its somewhat deliberate pacing. Much like with Jimmy Olsen, I'm looking forward to rereading the entire comic as a single work, and I suspect the upcoming deluxe hardcover will be a fantastic package – perhaps the way it should have been released in the first place.
Following Nick Spencer's departure from Supergirl, this is his only DC work on the horizon with the exception of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. This oneshot collects the already-published installments of our tenth best comic of 2010, combined with the final three installments that would have been published in Action Comics #897-899. On one hand, I'm happy they're not letting the material sit in a drawer. On the other hand, the fact that I have to double-dip on the first four installments to get the last three is extremely annoying. That said, this comic is an absolute joy, and I'm looking forward to reading it all again, with the ending, in one sitting.
When DC Comics semi-acquired the Milestone properties back in 2008, things looked promising due to the involvement of Dwayne McDuffie, who introduced the characters to the DC Universe proper in his ill-fated run on Justice League of America. With the exception of the two-issue Milestone Forever series that capped off the previous Milestone Universe and explained its relocation to DC's Earth-0 and Static's participation in the Teen Titans, the characters have been in limbo since then. However, totally out of the blue, original series writer John Rozum is bringing back Xombi, with the absolutely spectacular art of Frazer Irving on hand. Not only is he a perfect choice for the subject material, but Irving is coming fresh off of a best-selling, critically acclaimed run on Batman and Robin, so I'm honestly kind of surprised DC is putting this much behind the book. I hope it's a success, and I can guarantee it'll be getting my dollars.

City Council members denounced lyrics by the rap performer Eminem as racist and misogynist, and called upon the music industry to make reparations to communities they say are hurt by rap-inspired violence. The Source magazine recently released a recording of a decade-old song by Eminem, who is white. Eminem is quoted as rapping, ''Black girls are dumb, and white girls are good chicks.'' At City Hall yesterday, Councilwoman Yvette D. Clarke, above, of Brooklyn and Councilman Leroy Comrie of Queens singled out Eminem's lyrics. ''Who made it acceptable for hip-hop to be a forum for the denigration of black women?'' Ms. Clarke said. ''Who profits from this madness?'' Eminem said last week that the recording was ''something I made out of anger, stupidity and frustration when I was a teenager.'' Mike McIntire (NYT)Continue reading the main story

As Jellico finalizes a resolution to prohibit the establishment of pain clinics, a LaFollette clinic is offering to give back to the community.
Barbara Smith, office manager for the LaFollette Wellness Center said the clinic has been serving area residents since November 2010. The services available include a pain clinic, weight loss center and soon to be hormone replacement therapy office.
"We are not a pill mill," said Smith. "We want chronic patients only, we take referrals from medical doctors."
Being called to Scotty's Restaurant in reference to a fight ended with the arrest of Tiffany D. Massengill for causing a disturbance.
Last Sunday, Caryville Officer Ben Marlow arrived at the scene and began an investigation into the cause of an allegedly fight at the restaurant, he said.
Massengill, 22, of LaFollette was in the restaurant when Marlow arrived. She allegedly began to scream and curse at the officer, according to the report.
Campbell County schools are keeping up with the latest technology with a new service for parents.
Just last week the system rolled out the new SchoolMessenger system aimed at providing timely school related information to parents across the district.
According to Pam Walden, federal projects director, the new service will enhance communication by allowing school personnel to pass along important information via text messaging and phone calls.
Negotiating a curve proved dangerous for three vehicles Tuesday.
Around 4 p.m. Bobby G. Sharp was approaching a curve in the westbound lane of Highway 63.
A 1996 Honda Accord traveling in the eastbound lane drove left of the center into the path of Sharp, according to the Tennessee Highway Patrol.
Sharp, driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, allegedly went into the opposite lane of traffic to avoid hitting the oncoming Honda.
In the last decade the population in Campbell County has increased slightly, according to the 2010 findings by the U.S. Census Bureau.
In 2000 the total population in Campbell County was 39,854 this number rose to 40,716 in 2010. This is an increase of 862 people countywide. While the population increased in some areas of the county, decreases in other parts counteracted the overall growth.
In Caryville and Jacksboro the populations increased, but the census in LaFollette and Jellico showed a decrease in residents.
It was after midnight on March 22 when officers responded to a Caryville residence where Timothy Carroll was allegedly putting several people in fear of their lives.
Carroll, 38, of Jacksboro was allegedly calling the victims and making threats, according to the Caryville Police Department arrest report.
Information from the most recent census is filtering in.
While this data is useful and often integral to making application for state and federal grants, finding how and where to access it can be difficult.
In an effort to help local agencies learn the ins and outs of navigating the census information with ease County Mayor William Baird's office is hosting a free workshop on April 5 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Roane State Community College.
It was a startling discovery when officers looked inside a black bag under the passenger seat during a traffic stop two weeks ago.
Officer Ben Marlow with Caryville Police Department conducted a traffic stop at around 2 a.m. on March 20, only to find the passenger, David Wayne Williams, was allegedly concealing a variety of paraphernalia under the seat.
"One man's trash is another person's treasure," said Jellico Tourism Director Jake Bennett about a special chance to get a bargain this weekend.
Every year during the spring, Jellico opens up Veterans Memorial Park downtown to let people try to sell anything and everything cluttering up their homes. The first event this spring will be held Saturday, April 2.

Brandon Jones To Drive For Turner Motorsports In 2013
Fifteen year old Brandon Jones, a Sophomore at Mooresville (NC) High School, will drive in four different series for Turner Motorsports (TMS) in 2013. While driving for Eddie Sharp Racing in 2012, Jones competed in the Pro All Stars Series (PASS) and in the United Auto Racing Association (UARA) Series. He finished fifth in the UARA final standings in his first season, which included a win at Concord Speedway, while racking up an impressive five top-five and eleven top-10 finishes in 22 races. Jones was scored fifth in his first K&N Pro Series East race at Greenville-Pickens Speedway before a last-lap, final turn wreck. 2012's solid performance followed the Atlanta, Ga. native's 2011 track championships in the pro truck division at Lanier (Ga.) Speedway and Gresham (Ga.) Motorsports Park. In 2013, Jones will race the full UARA season, seven NASCAR K&N Pro Series East (NKNPSE) races, two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series (NCWTS) events and selected NASCAR Late Model Stock races under the Turner Motorsports banner.
"I am extremely excited to be joining Turner Motorsports and look forward to driving in UARA and select K&N and Camping World Truck races in 2013 for the Turner organization," said Jones. "I'm confident that with the outstanding team at TMS and with the help of Mike Greci and Cale Gale, we will be very competitive. This opportunity for me would not be possible without the development and coaching I received in 2012 from all the guys at Eddie Sharp Racing and Lee McCall."
At Turner Motorsports, Jones will work under the tutelage of Mike Greci, a stock car racing veteran, famed NASCAR crew chief and NASCAR driver development expert. Following back-to-back K&N Pro Series titles in 1997 and 1998 as owner/crew chief for Mike Stefanik, Greci went on to again score consecutive K&N East titles with Martin Truex, Jr. in 2009 and 2010. Greci has served as crew chief in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Nationwide Series for Paul Menard and Martin Truex, Jr. Most recently, Greci has mentored and been crew chief for Brett Moffit, Ryan Truex, Travis Pastrana and Sergio Pena in NKNPSE and NNS. Greci will now serve as Turner Motorsports' Competition Director for the NKNPSE teams.
"I echo Mr. Turner's sentiments of working with the younger talent in the sport; I truly enjoy seeing the younger generation work so hard at their dreams, and to be a part of that is special to me. We have a great core of people working for Turner Motorsports and I feel like we will see the success that has become synonymous with Turner Motorsports," mentioned Greci.
In addition to Greci, NCWTS winner Cale Gale will continue his longtime mentoring relationship with Jones. Gale recently rejoined Turner Motorsports as crew chief and will continue to groom Jones for his climb up the racing ranks.
"Coming to Turner Motorsports was a great opportunity for me and I look forward to working more closely with Brandon [Jones] in the NKNPSE series. I've worked with him the last couple of years on honing his skills and I've seen him come a long way in short time period. I think he has the talent necessary to be successful in his racing career," said Gale.
Jones joins Turner Motorsports, which captured its first NASCAR championship in 2012 when James Buescher took the NCWTS title on the strength of four wins. In only its third season of full-time NCWTS competition, Turner Motorsports totaled seven Truck Series wins, in addition to three victories in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. The organization announced that Jeb Burton and Miguel Paludo would be competing full-time in the NCWTS in 2013, with additional driver lineup and program details forthcoming.
Steve Turner adds, "I'm really excited that we are extending the Turner Motorsports banner into the other racing ranks, including the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East and the United Auto Racing Association series." I've always prided myself on working with up-and-coming stars and this group of Jones and Gale is no different. We have put together a great staff under Greci's attention that has tons of experience. I'm just really proud that we can attract these types of people that have the same dedication to racing and success as I do."
The rapidly-expanding Turner organization boasts some of racing's best up-and-coming drivers. In 2013, Turner Motorsports plans to field three Nationwide teams, four Camping World Truck Series teams, four K&N Pro Series East teams, as well as entries in the UARA Series and the NASCAR Late Model Stock program.

Friday Open Thread
By NB Staff | March 14, 2014 8:00 AM EDT
In response to commenter demand, an open thread for your Friday. First topic -- what happens when the media starts eating itself, metaphorically?
At the beginning of the Lewinsky scandal, it took three days for the media to start bashing itself. Things may be truly getting awful for Obama when you see Matt Bai, formerly of Newsweek and The New York Times Magazine, whacking "TV pundits" for daring to question Obama's "interview" with comedian Zack Galifianakis for the Will Ferrell website Funny or Die:
Love the irony of TV pundits debating if @funnyordie debases the presidency. Want to know what debases politics? TiVo yourselves.

Princess Eugenie Flashes Her Royal Flesh
When the sun sets on the British empire, certain members of its royal family apparently like to get loaded and strip down in public.
The Duke and Duchess of York have been scandalized by reports that their youngest daughter, Princess Eugenie, was recently found sozzled and frolicking naked with friends on the campus of her school, Marlborough College, reports the Sun.
The 18-year-old and her pals "had been drinking, possibly in a local pub, and decided to let their hair down," according to one pupil. At approximately midnight, the student continues, "they stripped off and started prancing about."
Unfortunately, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson—who's sixth in line to the throne—got a little too rowdy with her friends, and their delighted squeals attracted the attention of college staff members.
"They had to quickly pick up their clothes and hotfoot it inside," noted the pupil. "It's the talk of the college."
Eugenie received a stiff reprimand from school officials and has been prohibited from spending weekends on the campus. Which really seems a shame; this is just the sort of playful behavior that could liven up the royal family's stodgy image.
Unless Prince Charles starts pulling this crap, of course.

Any ideas why this following sql works on MySQL 5 and not 3? :
SELECT DISTINCTROW new_npt.npt_name, new_npt.npt_code
FROM new_npt
WHERE new_npt.npt_code NOT
SELECT DISTINCTROW new_npt.npt_code
FROM new_npt
LEFT JOIN aajos_chronoforms_register ON new_npt.npt_code = aajos_chronoforms_register.npt_val
WHERE aajos_chronoforms_register.uid =63
ORDER BY new_npt.npt_name
This is really confusing me, any help or advise would be appreciated.
Many thanks.
Lol you just beat me to my post, I tried that and it now works like a dream.
Thanks all for your help with this
SELECT new_npt.*
FROM new_npt
JOIN aajos_chronoforms_register
ON aajos_chronoforms_register.npt_val = new_npt.npt_code
<font color='"Blue"'>AND </font>aajos_chronoforms_register.uid = 63
WHERE aajos_chronoforms_register.npt_val IS NULL
Well that would explain it then!
I read that page and came up with:
SELECT new_npt.*
FROM new_npt LEFT JOIN aajos_chronoforms_register ON new_npt.npt_code = aajos_chronoforms_register.npt_val
WHERE aajos_chronoforms_register.npt_val IS NULL;
Im not sure where to put the where aajos_chronoforms_register.uid=63 bit, it can't go on the end where clause because that column only contains nulls.
MySQL 3 is not capable of handling subqueries.There is an article on the MySQL website how to rewrite such queries so that they work: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/rewriting-subqueries.html

Flames NewsFlames Home > Women's Basketball Home > News
Megan and Moriah Frazee Leave Houston Seeing Double
Liberty is now 4-1 to open the 2007-08 season, after making 32 free throws, just one shy of the school record. Megan Frazee's double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds was the 25th of her career. Meanwhile, Moriah Frazee posted her first double-double, tallying 16 points and corralling a career-best 11 boards. She also equaled a career best with three blocked shots in her 23 minutes of work.
Houston is 1-5 after dropping its fifth-straight contest. The Cougars were limited to 25.7 percent (19-of-74) field goal efficiency by Liberty's pressuring defense.
Liberty opened up a 10-5 lead to start the game, with all of the points being provided by Megan Frazee and Moriah Frazee. Megan Frazee's fast break layup, off a long pass by Allyson Fasnacht, completed the early burst, just over five minutes into the game.
In total, Megan and Moriah Frazee combined to tally the Lady Flames' first 14 markers of the evening. The duo also made all six of their foul shots during the game-opening surge.
Houston came back to even the score at 10, on a three-pointer by Ryan Bradley at 14:11. Liberty quickly responded, posting 12 of the next 15 points to build a 22-13 advantage, 8:26 before halftime. Molly Frazee and Rebecca Lightfoot both sank a pair of field goals during the Lady Flames' run.
The Cougars of Conference USA limited Liberty to one made field goal for the remainder of the half. In the meantime, Houston fashioned a 16-4 run, sparked by seven Tye Jackson points. Jackson's three-pointer from the corner, 26 seconds before the intermission, gave the Cougars their first lead of the game, 29-26.
The Lady Flames' lone field goal of the stretch came on their ensuing possession, as Molly Frazee evened the count at 29 apiece heading into halftime with a triple of her own.
Both teams struggled from the field in the opening half, as Liberty shot 31 percent (8-for-26) and Houston came in at 29 percent (10-for-34). The Lady Flames did excel at the free throw line, though, sinking 12-of-13 attempts, while Houston struggled to a 7-of-14 effort from the charity stripe.
The Frazee triplets combined for 21 of Liberty's 29 opening-half points, led by Megan Frazee's eight markers. Jackson's seven points off the bench paced Houston in the first 20 minutes.
Courtney Taylor hauled in six boards for the Cougars before halftime, helping her team to a 24-23 edge on the glass. Thirteen of Houston's rebounds came at the offensive end. Meanwhile, Moriah Frazee nabbed four caroms for the Lady Flames.
As they had done in the opening half, the combo of Megan Frazee and Moriah Frazee got Liberty off to a hot start after the break. They combined to record the first 10 points of a 12-2 Lady Flame burst to inaugurate the half. Courtney Watkins' coast-to-coast layup at 14:52 pushed the Liberty lead to 41-31, prompting a Houston timeout.
Five Watkins markers in 27 seconds bumped the Lady Flames' advantage to 13 points, 48-35, with 13:03 showing on the second-half clock.
Liberty went nearly five minutes without a field goal, but still owned a 13-point edge, 55-42, when Rachel Hammond banked in a mid-range jumper at the 8:12 mark.
The Lady Flames' next six points came from the free throw stripe, and Moriah Frazee's two connections at the 4:01 mark boosted Liberty's lead to a game-high 17 points, 61-44.
The Cougars clawed their way back into the game with a 13-1 burst, cutting the Lady Flames' advantage to 62-57 when Taylor cashed out a pair of free throws with 1:15 remaining.
Liberty came right back with five points of its own, reestablishing a double-digit lead at the 48.4-second mark, after Megan Frazee's bank shot in transition.
Houston got no closer than seven the rest of the way, and the Lady Flames closed out a 70-61 decision, their second win of the weekend.
The Lady Flames turned the tables in the rebounding column after halftime, outrebounding Houston by a 33-23 margin. Both teams made their living from the free throw line in the second half as well, combining to shoot 49 charity tosses in the stanza.
Liberty finished the game shooting 32-of-44 (72.7 percent) from the free throw line, led by Megan Frazee's 9-for-10 effort. Frazee had sunk a career-best 18 foul shots in a row before misfiring late in the second half.
Watkins scored 11 of her 13 points after halftime for the Lady Flames, reaching double digits for the fourth-consecutive outing. The senior guard, playing her 100th consecutive game, also pulled down five boards and came up with three steals.
Molly Frazee added eight points, while Lightfoot added six points and eight caroms for Liberty.
Two Houston players scored 10 or more points on the evening, headed by Taylor's 11 markers. Taylor also nabbed a team-best nine boards. Center Cobilyn Hill chipped in with 10 points, seven rebounds and a trio of blocked shots for the Cougars. Twiggy McIntyre was held to four points, but was able to distribute a game-high five assists.
Liberty will return to action Sunday at 2 p.m., when the Lady Flames face Xavier (4-1) in the final game of the National City Xavier Invitational. The host Musketeers, receiving votes in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today Coaches Polls, have also won their first two games of the weekend.

A REPORT produced by Government veteran Lord Heseltine has praised Wiltshire's move to a unitary status in 2009.
The reference to unitary councils forms part of Lord Heseltine's report 'No Stone Unturned in Pursuit of Growth', which lists a number of recommendations on how to boost the UK economy.
Jane Scott, leader of Wiltshire Council, said: "This report is recognition that our radical and forwardthinking move to unitary has benefitted both residents and businesses alike.
"Lord Heseltine states that the council is also now in a much stronger position to support economic growth and improve the future prospects of residents and businesses.
"We know the multi million pound benefits of moving to unitary and the improvement in services this has led to but receiving national recognition is important and I hope other authorities have the courage to put their communities first and follow our lead."
In his report Lord Heseltine said: "The transitional costs of creating the unitary Wiltshire Council were £18 million. This compares to a saving of a total of £68 million between 2009 and 2013.
"Back office costs now only comprise nine per cent of Wiltshire Council's budget as opposed to 19 per cent for its predecessor bodies.
"The new authority has achieved procurement savings of £36 million through increased buying power and stronger market position.
"Wiltshire Council has found that customers find accessing its services considerably easier with much less confusion about who is responsible for what.
"The council is also now in a much stronger position to support economic growth and improve the future prospects of residents and businesses."
The changes to local government in Wiltshire in 2009 abolished the four district council and replaced the county council with a unitary council with its headquarters at County Hall in Trowbridge.

Normal versus Student in Measuring Value at Risk. An Empirical Bayesian Overview
It is well known that financial returns exhibit positive kurtosis and flat tails. The Student model has been proposed in the literature as most adequate in treatment of financial problems than the Normal model. One of those problems is measuring Risk in a given portfolio using the Value At Risk (VAR). We apply Empirical-Bayesian (EB) techniques to the Normal and Student models to obtain VAR. The resultings VAR are easy to calculate and that from Student model has a pretty interpretation in terms of kurtosis. Both VAR were applied to a conjunct of diary observations of returns in six international indexes during the last decade. The results shows that the Student model is better than the Normal, but also shows that exists characteristics other than kurtosis in the financial returns that affect the goodness of results.

Lightened up Easy Creamy Sour Cream Chicken Casserole
Recipe by Meredith .F
A somewhat lighter version of many different chicken/tuna casserole dishes here.....Same great taste though!!!
Top Review by LainieBug
I used chicken tenderloins, cut them in chunks and did not pre-cook them. I also did not use fat free sour cream because I find it to be too tart, so I used "light" sour cream. Baked for 30 minutes and then popped under the broiler to crisp up the panko a little more. Moist, tender chicken and yummy sauce. Really enjoyed the panko/butter topping. I will be making this again and I think I'll serve it over a herb & butter rice.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, boiled and cubed
- 1 cup nonfat sour cream
- 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can fat-free cream of chicken soup (mushroom can be substituted)
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1⁄2 cup margarine, melted
- to taste salt and pepper
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Boil chicken breast until tender; drain and cube.
- Spread evenly over the bottom of a square casserole dish.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix sour cream and chicken soup in a separate bowl.
- Spread the sour cream and soup mixture over the chicken in the casserole dish.
- Spread panko crumbs over top of the casserole.
- Spoon melted margarine on top over all.
- Bake in a 350 degree oven until top is golden brown, approximately 20-30 minutes.
