Location: Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center On Aging2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
LAB: Bone Health 1. Conduct clinical studies to determine the effects of vitamin D in the prevention of physical dysfunction, oral disease, and diabetes, and other chronic diseases in older adults. 2. Conduct clinical studies to determine the effects of dietary protein and dietary acid-base balance on bone and muscle metabolism and function, respectively, in older adults. 3. Determine the role and mechanisms of action for calcium, magnesium, and other dietary components in the maintenance of bone health and the progression of related diseases. LAB: Vitamin K 1. Determine the amounts of individual dietary forms of vitamin K in nationally representative samples of frequently consumed U.S. foods and dietary supplements. 2. Characterize the effects of dietary and non-dietary factors, such as age, lipid profile and body fat, on the bioavailability and utilization of different forms of vitamin K in humans. 3. Identify mechanisms of action for vitamin K, other than its classic role as an enzyme cofactor, using cellular and animal models.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
LAB: Bone Health The Bone Metabolism Laboratory uses a variety of approaches to carry out its clinical and translational research program. Observational studies such as the publicly available cross-sectional National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey will be used to examine associations of vitamin D with bone mineral density. Longitudinal cohort studies, such as the Nurses Health Study, will be used to link vitamin D levels to risk of several chronic diseases. We will employ diet-controlled metabolic studies to define address several research goals. For example, we will examine the impact of a dietary alkaline load on muscle tissue changes and on indices of bone metabolism in healthy older subjects on both low and high protein diets. Information learned from this metabolic study will be helpful in the design of a large randomized controlled trial to determine the long term effects of lowering the dietary acid load on muscle performance and mass and on rates of bone turnover and bone loss. The Bone Metabolism Laboratory has a strong network of collaborations, both internal, exemplified by our work on multiple projects with the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology and Sarcopenia Laboratory, and external. These collaborations allow us to expand our reach to examine the effect of vitamin D on risk of other chronic diseases such as periodontal disease and diabetes. They also allow us access to basic research technologies, such as gene array analysis, that enable us to identify mechanisms by which nutrients affect bone and muscle. LAB: Vitamin K Laboratory analysis of different forms of vitamin K will be conducted in selected foods obtained through collaboration with the USDA Nutrient and Data Laboratory (NDL), as part of the Food and Nutrient Analysis Program. Priorities for food analysis will include dietary supplements, food purchased in family style restaurants, foods common to the Hispanic/Latino diet, and foods associated with high calorie diets. Food composition data will be transferred to the NDL for entry into national food composition databases. To identify dietary and non-dietary factors that determine how much vitamin K obtained from foods is utilized, we will apply stable isotope techniques to measures of vitamin K metabolism. Data obtained from ongoing metabolic studies in men and women, in addition to pilot feasibility studies, will be used to refine the study design to test the response of these measures to intake of different vitamin K-rich food sources. Animal models will be used to identify tissue-specific effects of interactions between vitamin K and other fat-soluble vitamins, with an emphasis on vitamins A and D. To identify mechanisms of action for vitamin K other than its classic role as an enzyme cofactor, urinary and serum levels of vitamin K metabolites will be measured in response to vitamin K supplementation using archived samples from human and animal studies. We will then focus on the role of different forms of vitamin K in inflammation through the inactivation of nuclear receptors in macrophages.
3. Progress Report
This project includes the work of two subordinate projects at the HNRCA funded through a Specific Cooperative Agreement with Tufts University. For further information and progress reports, see 1950-51000-069-01S, (Musculoskeletal Health in the Elderly) and 1950-51000-069-02S, (Vitamin K: Food Composition, Bioavailability and its Role in Human Health).
4. Accomplishments
1. Vitamin D supplementation is associated with reduced risk of falling (LAB: Bone Health). Vitamin D insufficiency increases risk of falling in older adults. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA recently completed and published a meta-analysis of the available data from randomized controlled trials that assessed the effect of supplemental vitamin D versus placebo on risk of falling in older men and women. Eight trials involving more than 2,426 subjects were included in the analysis. We found that doses of vitamin D in the range of 700 – 1000 IU/d lowered risk of falling by an average of 20%; lower doses in the range of 200-600 IU per day had no significant effect on risk of falling. This work suggests that correction of widespread vitamin D deficiency is likely to be an effective strategy to reduce falls in older adults.
2. Supplemental vitamin D and home-based exercise reduce falls in subjects with recent hip fracture (LAB: Bone Health). Falls are a major cause of fractures and other injuries in the elderly. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA recently collaborated with scientists in Switzerland to complete a randomized controlled trial in 173 elders with recent hip fractures. The study revealed that supplementation with vitamin D (2000 compared with 800 IU) lowered the number of injurious falls and the numbers of hospital admissions for infection in the year following the hip fracture. A moderately vigorous home-based exercise program significantly lowered risk of falling in the same subjects, when compared with the standard of care, no exercise training or advice. It appears that the combination of 2000 IU per day of supplemental vitamin D and training in home-based exercises along with advice to exercise for 30 minutes per day have complementary effects on lowering risk of falling in the elderly. These interventions were safe and well tolerated and should be evaluated in other populations for their ability to lower risk of falling.
3. Poor vitamin D status is associated with poorer cognitive function (LAB: Bone Health). Impaired cognitive function with aging is a serious and growing problem in the U.S. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA completed a study of the association of vitamin D status with mental function in a large group of homebound elders. They demonstrated that serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are positively associated with several components of mental function, including executive function and mental processing speed. These findings provide preliminary data needed to design intervention studies of vitamin D supplementation to improve mental function in older adults.
4. Potassium bicarbonate enhances the impact of protein on muscle (LAB: Bone Health). Dietary protein is essential for muscle health, but less is known about how the overall composition of the diet may influence the effect of protein on muscle. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA investigated the muscle effects of dietary protein in combination with potassium bicarbonate (to neutralize the acid load of the protein). They demonstrated that this combination increases serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and reduces levels of nitrogen in the urine. These findings suggest that the favorable effects of dietary protein on muscle may be enhanced by neutralizing the acid load that accompanies high protein diets.
5. Hypertension is a major health problem in the elderly and vitamin D insufficiency may be a contributing factor. (LAB: Bone Health). ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA, in collaboration with researchers at Michigan State University completed a crosssectional study of the association of vitamin D deficiency with hypertension in uninsured women. The subjects were 18 to 64 years old and were patients at a County Free Clinic in urban Michigan. Vitamin D status, as indicated by serum 25OHD measurements, was inversely associated with hypertension prevalence and with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. These findings suggest that improving vitamin D status may help to prevent hypertension in the vulnerable uninsured population.
6. Body Fat Stores Vitamin K and Reduces Its Availability for Important Body Functions (LAB: Vitamin K). It has been proposed that overweight and obese people store fat-soluble vitamins in their fat cells, and this storage can decrease these nutrients' contribution to health. In contrast to vitamins A, D, and E, and carotenoids, little is known about the role of body fat in changing vitamin K functions. ARS-funded researchers from Tufts University in Boston, MA determined that vitamin K is stored in body fat. Furthermore, more body fat was associated with less vitamin K available to other organs. Moderate weight loss did not result in an improvement in vitamin K status. These findings suggest that obesity may attenuate the contribution of dietary vitamin K to human health.

All they care about what The Mail and The Sun think. So much government policy seems to be set against a backdrop of running it through the shitty filters of Dacre and Murdoch.
This. Listening to people would be good, but this was clearly a U-turn based on the Tory party shitting itself over the reaction of the Sun and Mail. Which is silly, there is no way the Sun or the Mail are going to support Corbyn when the next election rolls around.
I don't necessarily want a chancellor who listens to people (particularly after the fact). I want a chancellor who has a clear, economic plan with enough foresight to determine what effect his proposed changes will have. This U-turn just smacks of a group of people desperately digging down the side of the sofa to scrape up enough loose change to get a 4 pack of stella. There is now an obvious hole in the nations finances and they've now got 6 months to find another method of indirect taxation to fill it.
My main concern was the Hammond (prior to the budget) seemed the only senior member of the cabinet with some actual common sense and pragmatism. That's shot to pieces now.

Wizard of Odds: Live Odds, Form and Alerts for all Racing
Chris Waller's willingness to learn has resulted in I'm Imposing being reborn as a miler and his late charge gave him victory in the Festival Stakes at Rosehill on Saturday.
I'm Imposing had been considered a stayer and won the Summer Cup a year ago when it was run at 2000 metres, but at nine he has shown a liking for being kept fresh.
"You never stop learning with horses and if you don't close yourself off from change, they can change," Waller said. "He is better trained like he is now on the fresh side. It means he doesn't have to do as much work and has that finish at the end."
I'm Imposing gave Waller another winning treble after Harrier Jet and Religify had been impressive winners earlier in the afternoon. He will head to Randwick one of the leading Villiers contenders in a fortnight.
I'm Imposing arrived just in time to beat Estonian Princess by a short half-head with leader Strawberry Boy hanging on for third only a long head away. Favourite Generalife was a breath away in fourth after hitting the front and peaking on his run.
It was a pretty ride from Tye Angland, who tracked Generalife into the race before pulling out about the 300m mark and charging late.
"He takes a couple of strides to get going but he has a big burst and he always seemed like he was going to get there," Angland said. "The speed was good, which suited him, and he still had that turn of foot."
Angland is looking forward to the Villiers in a fortnight as are trainers Scott Aspery, with Estonian Princess, and Steven O'Dea, who had Sir Moments run into fifth.
"The bigger track and a mile will be even better for him and it should be run similar," Angland said.
Aspery was delighted with Estonian Princess, which got a couple of bumps from Generalife in the last 200m when he was feeling the pinch of a hard run.
"That was great," Aspery said. "She has made a long run and looked the winner. The other fellow just had the drop on us.
"We will get another crack at him in the Villiers and I would be confident she will give him a race."
O'Dea was always worried about coming to Rosehill with Sir Moments, which got buried away on the fence and was near last on the turn before weaving a passage to finish on the placegetters' heels.
"He never really got out in the clear and got a crack at them," O'Dea said. "He finished the race off very hard and the Villiers is in two weeks at Randwick, which will suit him better. I can't wait to get him to the mile now and he has some improvement left there."
John O'Shea said Generalife would go for a spell after a luckless spring, which will end without a win. However, it was the wins in winter that O'Shea will remember from the five-year-old.
"He is a nice horse and he was the horse that kept us going in the winter when we had nothing," O'Shea said. "I had a doubt about him at the 1500m and that was a really tough effort. He missed the start and then got flushed out at the 800m and it told in the end. He hit the front in the straight but the early effort ... you could see him getting tired. He has earned a break."
Mouro was the disappointment of the race. After being heavily backed, he finished midfield. However, trainer Tony McEvoy said he had run his race before getting on to the track.
"In the stalls they put a filly in front and he got stirred up and colty," McEvoy said. "That didn't help him at all."

Look for a Golden Engagement Ring on the various creatures in Sholazar Basin.
When I found out that Miss Boulian was helping Nesingwary with his expedition, I signed up as a deckhand immediately. You see, I'd been meaning to marry her for months!
I had it all planned out. I was going to propose the very night of the shipwreck... but now the ring is gone. I've searched everywhere!
I know it might sound crazy, but I know the engagement ring is in the Basin. If some Venture Company didn't steal it, maybe a wild creature ate it. But it's here somewhere... I just know it!

"This whole Greyhound thing is all about minority economic development," Mayor Willie Herenton said before ducking into a waiting car and leaving the University Club, the Memphis Rotary Club, and a swarm of reporters.
The Commercial Appeal broke the story Tuesday that Herenton personally had an option to purchase the downtown Greyhound bus station and sold it for $116,000, keeping $91,000, the newspaper said.
Now comes the defense. Herenton said he would offer his reply in a column to the CA Tuesday evening for publication Wednesday or later this week. He said he would not be more specific about the option, on the advice of his legal counsel.
"You hit a home run," shouted attorney Ricky Wilkins to the mayor as he walked through the parking lot. Earlier, Wilkins introduced Herenton to the Rotary Club as someone who "has caught all the slings and arrows and remains to me that hero that I met in high school."
After Wilkins turned over the microphone, Herenton got right to the elephant in the dining room, saying "it sure feels good to be under some light" rather than under the dark cloud of a federal investigation and a 14-part history of his public life in the paper for the last two weeks.
He made a brief and perfunctory diversion to the state of the economy, crime, and consolidation — this was, after all, supposed to be a state-of-the-city speech — but then he was back at it. He read some words by Theodore Roosevelt: "It is the man in the arena, and not the critic who counts." Herenton said he had stumbled in 18 years as mayor "but I have been a man who has been in the arena."
He said his forthcoming newspaper column would delve into his views of the line between his public and private life. It was "no coincidence," he said, that the most damning story yet about him came out on the same day he was scheduled to make his annual state-of-the-city speech. The audience gave him a big round of applause for that one. Then he took some questions, one of which came from Rotarian and television anchor Cameron Harper about the propriety of that $91,000.
"I know where the line is, and I feel confident I have not crossed that line," Herenton said.
Meeting with reporters after lunch, the mayor said it bothers him that his integrity is being questioned on a near-daily basis lately. "That cuts deep," he said.
The cuts are not likely to end. Two federal grand juries were scheduled to meet Wednesday, January 14th, leading to speculation about a Herenton indictment just days before Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th president. We'll know soon enough.
A source familiar with the investigation told me it is broader than the bus station and encompasses control of Beale Street and the property south of Beale Street and FedExForum. The Greyhound station sits between the arena, The Peabody, and AutoZone Park — an underperformer if there ever was one. Moving it out of downtown to a MATA intermodal transportation terminal near the airport is tempting because of all the federal transportation money MATA can access.
Whether it makes sense to dump bus passengers at the airport is another question, but sense didn't stop MATA from extending the trolley halfway to Midtown, or building a sham terminal at FedExForum, or proposing a $405 million light-rail line from downtown to the airport.
Asked if he is tired of the job and if he thinks he will finish this year, much less the nearly three years remaining in his term, Herenton sounded genuinely undecided.
"I'm still going through some deliberations," he said.
If the mayor were to suddenly leave office, as he almost did a year ago, things get a little complicated. The interim mayor would be Myron Lowery, the chairman of the Memphis City Council. Lowery, who just happens to be an expert on the city charter, could serve for 20 days. There would be a special election within six months. An appointed mayor would serve between the interim mayor and the elected mayor. Six months is a huge head start in a mayoral horse race and Lowery is a veteran politician who has become a bridge builder between blacks and whites on the council.
It's all speculation, of course. But that is all anyone is doing in this gloomy-looking year 2009, the 18th year of the Herenton administration.

Hi - My situation is a little different than yours but I'll tell you about it. My CLL was found during routine blood workup for knee surgery -- wbcs elevated then found to have CLL. Stage 0 --This was in October 2014 and I had my knee surgery in December 2014. So glad I had the surgery -- it isn't easy but now I can walk and be more active which is important for quality of life. Your disease is further along than mine so I couldn't say, but I'd speak to your hematologist and surgeon about this. For me, it's a quality of life issue.

I just saw your question about MD Anderson I went there for a second opion since I only got a 3 month remission from my 1st round of chemo. After you see the nurse, then the intern you finally see the Dr. 2 to 3 hrs at your appointment time and he has his little 2 min. speech he gives you and then he's done and doesn't want any questions and tells you not to worry he will make you well. Since I come from a family of cancer patients we have learn to research the cancer and learn everthing about it you can, so that you can make informed decision for yourself. They were talking Stem Cell transplant and I had done my research and knew that that would be my very last option and knew that they had failed 2x to determine if I had 17p deletion. I then went to John Hopkins for a 3rd opion and was just amazed. The doctor was 3 minutes late and he told me he was sorry he got held up. He spent 1hr talking to my family and I and even allowed me to skype my mom and he went out of his way to make sure she could see and hear. He answer all of our questions and told us that even if I did not have the 17p del I did have the other markers for a more aggressive form of the disease and his recommendation for treatment was the same as my local Dr. They were able to do the test using a new process that they have and determined that I did not have the 17p del. I love John Hopkins and will never go back to MD Anderson. As a patient you need to go where you have confidence in the Dr's. My local Dr. is the one that does all my treatments and takes care of me. I go to John Hopkins for second opinions. Since I did not get a long remission after round 2 I am going to go back to John Hopkins to see what they recommend for round 3 (my Dr. is looking at 3 biologics in trials 2 should be getting FDA approval soon)and to ask at what point they would recommend a Stem Cell Transplant and at what point I would not be eligible for a Stem Cell Transplant if I continue doing other treatments, John Hopkins has a better success rate with the Stem Cell Trans. than MD Anderson. If you go to a big cancer facility they will do the genetics of your cancer to taylor your treatment. Research into the genetics of CLL/SLL is in its infancy compared to other cancers. I later found out that the purpose of scanning my patient card everywhere I went was to ensure that their patients do not have to wait. I also have a friend that her brother was turned away by MD Anderson no insurance and no money, same reason 2 other hospitals turned him away. I have never had a good feeling about Cancer Treatment Centers of America to much hype to commercialized for me. These are hard decisions. I hope this helps. Remember there are no wrong choices or decisions when it comes to dealing with cancer, you make the best choice/decision with the information you have at the time. You can drive yourself crazy with the what ifs.

Agri-Food Thoughts
Ever since paper oil prices broke, journalists around the world have been brutally attacking keyboards in a rush to declare the end to investing in commodities. Business media anchors keep asking the same question, "Are commodities done?" While teaching a journalist is the equivalent of attempting to train a cat, we continue to remind all of one simple message. Commodities is not a homogeneous asset class. It is comprised of three distinct groups, as listed below.
Oil Iron,
Copper Corn,
Coal, Etc.
Gold, Etc.
Beef, Etc.
Do the same motivations for buying coal cause someone to buy rice? Does a consumer choose between buying beef or copper ? Will the Chinese economic miracle end the day after the Olympics? Will those 1.3+ billion Chinese consumers continue to eat? As we learned in the Internet stock bubble, do not let the media manage your wealth.
This week's chart is of U.S. cash corn prices, right axis, along with a stochastic, left axis. Corn prices did become over bought during the paper oil mania. That situation has been replaced by an over sold condition. Prices seem to have bottomed with this over sold situation, as was case last year. Competition for corn, from ethanol producers to hog and cattle feeders, is to keep global corn market tighter than ever in history. According to The Financial Times(Allidina, 17 July 2008,22) approximately ¾ of growth in 2008 non-OPEC supply of fuels came from biofuels. Do not let the factory mentality slip into your consideration of Agri-Food investments. All the corn that will exist in North America until 2009 is either in the field or in a bin. The Chinese economy is going to produce a long series of Gold medals for investors in the next two decades, and many of them will go to Agri -Food.
AGRI-FOOD THOUGHTS are from Ned W. Schmidt,CFA,CEBS, publisher of Agri-Food Value View, a monthly exploration of the Agri-Food grand cycle being created by China, India, and Eco-energy. To review a recent issue, write to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reality show star Tim Zickuhr was arrested on felony charges of kidnapping, extortion and coercion. The History's "Ice Road Truckers" star allegedly kidnapped a hooker by the name of "Snow White" and threatened to kill her on December 19, 2013, a day after he hired her for sex.
Tim kidnapped Snow White aka Lisa Cadeau over money dispute. He accused her of taking an extra $1,000 after he handed her his ATM card to withdraw her fee. "I only withdrew the $80 I was supposed to and an additional $120 that I wasn't," Lisa said in an email to the Daily News.
They later agreed to meet up at his apartment to settle the money issue but he went ballistic instead. "I met with him because he was searching for me door to door in the neighborhood and I paid him $300," Cadeau argued. "He held the grudge and needed $1,000 to pull himself out of a rut from the steroids he was in debt over."
Per police report, he punched her in the face, tied her up with backpack straps, poured cold water on her and locked her in a closet. He demanded her to give him a phone number of someone who would pay him the money. Lisa gave him the number of her police officer friend instead. Tim, not knowing that the person at the other end was a cop, said he would kill Lisa with a gun if he didn't get his money.
When police officers arrived at his apartment, Tim ordered Lisa to jump from his second-story window. Tim then met up with the man that he thought had his money. He was arrested on the spot and confessed to everything. His trial date is set for May.

Lindsay Lohan Poodle Coat
February 8, 2012 by staff
Lindsay Lohan Poodle Coat, It might be chilly in New York – but that does not excuse Lindsay Lohan's new coat. The 25-year-old troubled actress arrived to the Big Apple, apparently trying to make something of a style statement.
She bundled up against the 44F (7C) temperatures in a voluminous off-white coat, which seemed to take its style inspiration from that of a shaved poodle.
It came complete with a furry trim around the bottom and the neckline.
Lohan arrived to NYC – where her mother Dina live – fresh from a flight from her California base in Los Angeles.
The actress is currently living it up at celebrity hangout Chateau Marmont after moving out of her Venice Beach apartment.
The Mean Girls star, who has been jailed five times in as many years, recently slammed reports that she was drinking alcohol at the SAG Awards.
Lindsay, who has been in and out of rehab, claims to be clean of drugs and alcohol.
An insider told TMZ she was threatening to sue over the reports which claimed she was drinking on last Sunday night at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood.
She insists she only drank water all night and blamed rumours of her hard-partying on why she gets offered so few acting roles.
Her former neighbours in Venice Beach have also come out recently saying she was a nightmare to live next door to, because of all the drama and partying she brought with her.
The actress has not appeared in a film since the 2010 flop Machete. She was recently replaced as the lead in the biopic on p*rn star Linda Lovelace by her Mean Girls co-star Amanda Seyfried.

Folau decision draws predictably mixed reaction
Three months after first discussing it with Israel Folau, Wallabies great Tim Horan celebrated the sport hopper's move to rugby union - but league legends weren't as ecstatic.
Parramatta great Brett Kenny called for the NRL to exile 23-year-old Folau for knocking back a lucrative Eels deal and signing with Super Rugby franchise the NSW Waratahs for 2013.
"He should never be allowed to play rugby league again," Kenny - who played 265 games for Parramatta - told AAP.
"He said his heart wasn't in AFL and obviously it isn't in rugby league either."
In contrast, Horan described Folau's signing as a "huge coup" that he inadvertently kick-started in September with a heart-to-heart chat.
"A lot of rugby league people thought he was going to Parramatta but I had a chance to talk to Izzy three months ago ... about the potential of leaving AFL (then) I spoke to (then ARU boss) John O'Neill about it," Horan said.
"I knew then, three months ago, that Izzy was fairly serious about the potential change."
The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) would not comment on whether it had helped with a top-up payment for Folau.
But Horan believed the ARU must have weighed in after the ex-Melbourne and Brisbane NRL star became frustrated by protracted negotiations with the Eels.
Ex-Kangaroos captain Gorden Tallis questioned whether Folau was getting good advice.
His manager Isaac Moses is banned until March 28 for his involvement in the Storm salary-cap scandal and remains suspended from representing NRL players in contract negotiations.
"It's his manager's job to look after his client and to keep him happy," Tallis told AAP.
"He got him a big deal (with AFL) and he wasn't happy and he walked away.
"Money didn't make him happy, yet he is going to another code when he said his passion is in rugby league.
"I don't blame Izzy. I think he's getting some really poor advice."
Horan said he would be "surprised" if Folau contested next year's British and Irish Lions tour but could be in the mix for the subsequent Rugby Championship clashes with New Zealand, South Africa and Argentina.
World Cup-winning ex-Wallabies coach Bob Dwyer could see Folau succeed as a winger under Waratahs coach Michael Cheika and assistants Alan Gaffney and Daryl Gibson.
"With those three, he will have the right tuition," Dwyer told AAP.
"For a few years, you couldn't say you would get really excited about wanting to watch the Waratahs play but I am by the prospect under the new coaching staff and Folau."
Folau is set to make his Super Rugby debut on February 23 against the Queensland Reds at old league stomping ground Suncorp Stadium.
Reds' CEO Jim Carmichael could only chuckle at the prospect of Folau running out in blue at State of Origin's spiritual home.
"All I could picture was the full page advertisement we'll be taking out ... 'Dear Izzy - welcome back to Suncorp Stadium & good luck from the Queensland Reds and their 52,000 members and fans'," he said.
Folau set Twitter alight, even earning congratulations from Reds' playmaker Quade Cooper.
"Big support brother! All the best with the new challenge...looking fwd to watching you do ya thing!" he tweeted.
All Blacks great Jonah Lomu added: "Happy days ... NSW UNION u lucky buggers my pick to watch next year man got mad skills mad love from your Nz/Tongan bro," he wrote.

Hey all! How was your weekend? We took a last minute trip to IKEA (probably what will be our last trip out to that one — our local store will be done this fall!), had some fun with friends and our son had a basketball game (with a win!). I really wanted to get the tile started in the bathroom but it was just so beautiful yesterday so we ended up working outside all afternoon and evening.
This is by far my least thrifty time of the year. The temps go up and I can't wait to get started adding flowers to the flower beds and pots. I still haven't found a way to save on buying annuals. I do have a few tricks I use that I'll go over here but overall adding flowers every spring is always an investment!
Thankfully they stay through October so I get my money out of them! 🙂 I don't add a TON of annual flowers — I try to plant flowering perennials like hydrangeas and roses to add color to our landscaping. That way you're spending the money once and the color comes back year after year.
But I'm a total sucker for the petunia. I add them all over the place in the spring:
I added up that I planted about 85 petunias yesterday! Wow. You do save if you buy them in bulk, so the flats of any plant will save you some money.
As you can see I planted the hanging baskets around our pergola. Baskets with flowers flowing out of them were my dream when we had this space in mind years ago. 🙂 I love petunias — they fill in so beautifully and end up spilling out of them. There are "wave" petunias that do this even more than the regular versions. But both fill in a pot or the flower beds nicely.
I've used red and purple four our flowers for years now. I always go back to this combo, with some white thrown in at times. It is so bright and looks great with our house and deck:
We have a tiny little porch out front but I always try to make the best of it each season! We had our front steps extended years ago and having the wider steps is the BEST! Now I can put my plants on there and not worry about them getting in the way:
I picked a new welcome mat a few weeks ago to replace our worn out one and it's one of those little things that makes the entry so welcoming. 🙂
I splurged on the planters here — although I think to get them this full I actually would have spent more on numerous smaller plants. I like these to be big and full so I just used a hanging basket and plopped them inside the basket. I didn't even replant them…easy peasy. 🙂 If you don't want a lot of color, ferns are a great option that really fill in the pots nicely and they aren't that expensive.
On our other baskets around the pergola I didn't need them to be quite as full (because it will fill in later) so I find it cheaper to plant them myself instead of using hanging displays that are already planted.
We had the beds mulched last week (not a job we do because we just need SO much of it) and it makes everything look and feel (but not smell 😆) so fresh! I added some color to the front beds with some more of the purple and red petunias:
I added groups of them in a few spots along the front and they will fill in over the next couple of weeks nicely. I love the green, red and purple against the dark mulch. Yesterday I planted nearly 100 petunias, five hanging planters and six pots! The nice thing is I'm pretty much done for the next five months or so.
You can see how I added that little detail on the garage a few years ago here. I still love it!!:
My husband mowed, edged and got to the weeds while I planted. My finishing touch was to put the flag back up. Want to instantly make your home exterior feel more homey?
Add a flag!:
Now I want to change out the DIY spring wreath with some red and purple flowers instead of the white and yellow. Thankfully it's super easy to change them out — be sure to check out that post to see how to do it!
I love this time of year! Fall is my absolute favorite season but spring is catching up! The weather has been so wonderful and everything feels so fresh and new. 🙂
Do you plant a lot of annuals every year? What are your favorites? I love petunias because I feel like you get more bang for your buck. They grow and fill in so well and end up much bigger than when you planted them.

I recently made a caramel apple cake...aplle spice cake with caramel filling and caramel buttercream frosting. It tasted delicious but the caramel buttercream was a nightmare! It was Wilton's recipe (basically their regular bc recipe with caramel ice cream topping added). It was very runny and kept drooping down the sides. So I scraped it off and added more ps to stiffen it up. It helped a little, it just took longer for the icing to run, but it still did. Are there any good tasting crusting or non-crusting caramel butterceams out there? That will STAY on my cake? TIA!

Having my first experience with fully-automatic weapons just over a week ago I know exactly what Daily Caller writer Jeff Winkler was talking about when he talked about standing in front of the rental menu board at Knob Creek, "our eyes and smiles as wide as kids' on Christmas day."
I suspect his article, The machine gun hobby is an expensive one but shooting an automatic is indescribably fun is a great read, especially for long-suffering shooters used to hearing the term "machine gun" tossed about erroneously and with malice by the media.
A taste:
As a D.C. transplant from Arkansas, my firearms experience didn't go much further than shooting freshly finished beer bottles with a .22 caliber rifle. I'd made friends with a young photographer, Bryan Tarnowski: a NYC transplant from North Carolina who had experience with a few handguns in a Manhattan shooting range. And not Manhattan, Kansas.
There were more than a dozen options to choose from. There was – among many, many others — the drum-fed STG 34k; the belt-fed Browning 1919; the magazine-fed AK-47. Not that I know what any of this means. But we were hungry to get fed regardless.
Tarnoswki looked at me with a strange half-eager, half-trance look and said in one dreamy breath, "I'm getting the Tommy Gun." I walk up to the counter and the man politely yelled over the pop of gunfire, "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SHOOT!"
Read the rest, and make sure you note what he did at the end of his excursion.

Many users hate having to restart their computers because of how time consuming it is. Besides it being time consuming, it is also frustrating because the reason we are restarting it is because of a problem we're having. The Microsoft Windows Vista restart manager will shut down only the application that needs to be shut down, and then perform the installation which eliminates the need to restart your computer after everything that you install.
Of course, Microsoft did not stop there because they also implemented a 'smarter' standby system which will only take a few seconds to go into standby and will make the system feel like it is being restarted, so that you don't have to restart it as often.

text: Chris McKhann , analyst at OptionMonster. The iShares Russell 2000 Index ( IWM) is down more than 2% on the day, but calls active in the session suggest traders think the small-cap index could go substantially higher in the near term. By the afternoon, the iShares Russell 2000 Index was at 43.30, having traded down to 42.98, slightly below where it opened yesterday. But options action was heavy in the May 52 calls, where 9,500 traded at the same time across multiple exchanges, for 40 cents. These calls are another 20% out of the money, and OptionMonster's systems indicate that they were bought. The purchase easily outstrips open interest, or established positions, of 3,839, so the trading indicates the opening of bullish positions. The index remains up more than 25% from the March 9 low of 34.26. The ETF was as high as 75 before the drop in September.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
She was rescued from the shelter and gave birth to stunning babies. She loves kittens and is so easy going. In her foster home, she was put out with the foster family's personal pets. They hissed and chased Mya. Mya did not care. She just walked around it all. With any cat to cat intro, it will take time. Mya is a great alarm clock she loves to head bob you when you start to wake up. She is super sweet and loves people and animals. She is also a great head massager! One if her sons, Mango is also available.

Football is one of the best sports to watch on television, and one of the worst to think about what the athletes go through. Reports of brain damage in players are hard to ignore, and there is one clear culprit: concussions.
Now researchers in Nebraska are looking to change that, or at least to be able to detect when a concussion has occurred. There is already a procedure used to test for concussions, but involves only asking questions and having the players perform hand-eye coordination tests. Daniel Molfese at the University of Nebraska has a new plan: measure the player's brain waves using a skull cap to determine if a concussion has occurred and if so, how severe. The device is a major project of the newly opening Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). CB3 will have regular reminders of what it's working on: it will be housed in the east side of Memorial Stadium where the Nebraska Cornhuskers play.
"There has been great concussion research that's been going on for decades," said Molfese, the CB3 director. "It's disconcerting to realize just how little we really know."
The device that Molfese is working on would measure irregularities in brain waves, and be able to make all needed measurements within 10 minutes. Hopefully improvements can be made even from that, so that the measurements can be made within a commercial break.
The NFL has a real concussion problem, and it's just about the only league-wide problem the incredibly successful league has. Given that they are awash in cash. NFL players suffer concussions on a regular basis. How regular is up for debate, but some studies have shown that lineman can sustain a low-level concussion on almost every play. When those are compounded on a long drive, the damage can accumulate. It makes all the sense in the world for the NFL to invest in research like that happening at CB3, that is needed for their players, and could have an impact across the medical field.

A quick grep of the Apache source shows that it's only used by the Apache support utils and should be moved there verbatim.

I bought both the bibdana and the pom-pom trim bibs for my daughter and nephew to match. They are so cute! And I felt like the quality was really nice as well!

If you really want to know how NattyBratty got it's start, I'll tell you. My daughter made me do it.
As it so often goes with kids, my 3-year old was very choosy about what she would wear in her wild mane of hair - nothing frilly, lots of color...and skulls. That's right, if it had a skull and crossbones on it, she gave the thumbs up. Looking back, I'm not sure if it was a pirate thing, or a rebel thing, but looking cute and tough was my kid's THING.
So...being handy with a sewing machine and a glue gun, and harkening back to my 80s teen years - I set to work on some fun and unique hair toppers right there at my dining room table. I was having so much fun, and my daughter was looking so stinking cute that I began selling my creations. I called my brand "NattyBratty - Hair Accessories for the Posh & Punk" (natty (posh) and bratty (punk), get it?). The name stuck, I bought more fabrics, ribbons and yes, skulls - and I had a little home business.
I opened up my shop on Etsy in 2009 and here I am today. Over the years, my designs have evolved - perhaps the skull trend has taken a slight backseat to more modern prints, vintage vibes and lots of color...but I still take a keen interest in following current style trends that might reflect well on a young fashion guru.
I have a home studio here in sunny southern California, and production time happens when the kids are in school and my old German Shepherd dog is snoozing. I'll blast my favorite 80s mix, maybe throw on a Bowie album, and get to work. It's fun, it's rewarding and I'm lucky to have such a great creative outlet.
Thanks for stopping by - and don't hesitate to contact me via Etsy with any questions.

Additional policies and FAQs
CPSIA Regulations
I use supplies only from manufacturers that meet the federal CPSIA requirements for lead testing. My materials are either exempt from testing (not needed) or meet the standard ppm requirements for lead. For certificates on applicable hardware, please feel free to convo me.
HAIR ACCESSORIES: Please note that some of my items may contain small parts (buttons, clips, pearl or rhinestone embellishments and flowers) that may present choking hazards to young children if pulled off or placed in the mouth. NEVER leave a baby or toddler unattended wearing my hair accessories for these reasons.
TEETHING NECKLACES: My fabric and wooden bead teething necklaces are designed specifically for adult use ONLY. While they are beautiful to wear and extremely handy to have with teething babies (chewable and natural) - they are still designed as adult jewelry, and should never be given to a baby or toddler to chew on alone or manipulate without direct adult supervision. These necklaces are NOT toys.
Before you allow your baby to chew on the necklace (and do this of course while you are wearing it, watching your baby and looking fabulous) - check for any pulled stitches or seams, or any chewed holes in the fabric. Baby teeth can be sharp and destructive! Although I've taken great care to sew these necklaces sturdily and with close-seam stitches, all precaution is warranted.
Use the necklaces at your own risk. I cannot be held responsible for any sort of injury or death in the misuse of my products.
CLEANING THE TEETHING NECKLACES: Washing the necklace is simple - you can rinse it with warm water and a bit of dish soap to clean up any stains or dirt - and promptly remove it and hang it up to dry thoroughly. If the wooden beads are left submerged in water, it can lead to mold and/or mildew due to the wood not drying out completely. Simply put, don't submerge your necklace in water, and make it a quick and easy wash at the sink. Do not put your necklace in the washing machine or dryer.
Care for the wooden rings on my Gummy Bunny teething toys is simple and easy, however, please note that if you submerge the rings in water for a period of time, mildew and/or mold can occur since the wood cannot dry out properly. Washing under the faucet for a quick moment is all it takes to get my wooden rings clean. If you notice the surface of the wood is looking chipped, broken or splintered, please discard it immediately. Replacements are easy to find, and I am happy to send another to you for a small fee. Take note that banging the wood on hard surfaces and improper washing (submerging in water) can lead to cracks.
Re-sealing the wood rings isn't necessary, but some prefer the surface coating of beeswax and olive oil to keep the wood looking beautiful and frankly, it helps promote a longer life for the teething toy.
The designs you see at my Etsy shop are unique and protected property of NattBratty.

Tree of Jiva and Atman
The Tree of Jiva and Atman appears in the Vedic scriptures, predating current Hinduism, as a metaphysical metaphor concerning the soul.
The Rig Veda samhita 1.164.20-22, Mundaka Upanishad 3.1.1-2, and Svetasvatara Upanisad 4.6-7, speak of two birds, one perched on the branch of the tree, which signifies the body, and eating its fruit, the other merely watching.
Rig Veda samhita says:
1.164.20 Two birds associated together, and mutual friends, take refuge in the same tree; one of them eats the sweet fig; the other abstaining from food, merely looks on.
1.164.21 Where the smooth-gliding rays, cognizant, distil the perpetual portion of water; there has the Lord and steadfast protector all beings accepted me, though immature in wisdom.
1.164.22 In the tree into which the smooth-gliding rays feeders on the sweet, enters, and again bring forth light over all, they have called the fruit sweet, but he partakes not of it who knows not the protector of the universe.
The first bird represents a Jiva, or individual self, or soul. She has a female nature, being a shakti, an energy of God. When the jiva becomes distracted by the fruits (signifying sensual pleasure), she momentarily forgets her lord and lover and tries to enjoy the fruit independently of him. This separating forgetfulness is maha-maya, or enthrallment, spiritual death, and constitutes the fall of the jiva into the world of material birth, death, disease and old age.
The second bird is the Paramatman, an aspect of God who accompanies every living being in the heart while she remains in the material world. He is the support of all beings and is beyond sensual pleasure.
It can be stated that this concept of Atman and Jiva have been personified and taken into the Bible as Adam and Eve and the fall of man. It has been opined by a highly revered Shankaracharya of the Kanchi Mutt, Chandrashekharendra Saraswati, that the term "Atman" also known commonly as "Atma" could have become "Adam" and "Jeeva", "Eve". Conversely it can also be stated that this abstraction of Jiva and Atman is immutable essence related to the events surrounding the fall of man.
Another interpretation is the two birds are two options: one is to eat the sweet fruits; other is merely look on and recognize where the smooth-gliding rays distil the perpetual water (the leaves and the root); there the lord and protector accepts me in the tree, into which the smooth-gliding rays feeders on the sweet and brings light over the tree. First consciousness has to know the protector of the universe and then partakes of it.
The text itself, however, relates more to the bounties of the world and praise for the creator. The myriad of interpretations of this particular text are seeded more in later Hindu philosophizations influenced over time by the interactions of Hinduism with other philosophies and religions, rather than having any clear historical association with the intended meaning of the specific verse.

Hello moms
What do all of you moms do for Easter a anything special? Is dying Easter eggs with a one and a half year old safe? We want to do something special for Easter with Jocelyn but not sure what to do.
We always do the egg dying thing (which I've learned some new tricks for this year) and usually just lounge around the house. This year (since I never knew about it before...forgive me as I had a very sheltered childhood) I am going to be making a special dinner. I've dyed the eggs with the kids since they were old enough to enjoy watching the whites change colors. Chesnie and Jax did their first eggs at about 21 months. It's messy, but oh so fun to watch them at that age!!
we Easter egg hunt and do baskets and have dinner. I can't wait!
We will probably just lay low this year ad eat chocolate after an egg hunt. But we have gone to parks or the zoo before and they usually have something fun going on..
What'd you end up doing?

Title: Long Walk Original Manuscript (Image #511)
Transcript: The people of the USA have an inspiring and proud history and have made valuable contributions in many fields. And it is not difficult for me to find friends amongst the American people friends whom I love and respect, and whose interest in the welfare of our people is deep and sincere. But I hate all forms of imperialism and I consider the US brand, which attempts to subjugate independent countries when European imperialism is on its last legs, the most loathsome and contemptible.
The activities of the CIA which props up right wing elements in all countries, which tries to undermine and topple legitimate progressive governments through violence, intrigue and dollars, which has caused the downfall of many a country and is responsible for the death of untold numbers of people, has brought the US government into disrepute. It was the acme of arrogance and selfishness for the US which established a network of military bases directed against the Soviet Union, now to object to the erection of a missile base as a defensive measure by an independent state whose very independence was threatened by the US.
On the eve of my conviction and sentence several acts of sabotage in Durban (3 Kloof pylons, Congella and ) and in Johannesburg had taken place as a protest , some of which were widely reported in the press for the professional skill with which they were carried out and which had made an impact on both the police and the public. Side by side with these activities of units of MK, were the widespread appearance of "Free Mandela" slogans painted in the most prominent places throughout Durban. By this time MK members were already in prison among them were Benny

Travel in Dec
Hi, I plan to travel from 17- 28th Dec, from Tokyo to Osaka.
Please advise what kind of rail pass should I get. We have 3 adults travelling as a family.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi there,
It would depend on your exact planning. I've made a list of normal ticket prices below to get an idea of how to best use a JR Pass.
Narita Airport -Tokyo ¥ 2,820
For a total of ¥ 40,870. Given the route, I would advise a 7 day JR Pass and use it for the more expancive travel from Hakone - Nagano - Takayama - Osaka. You'd make great savings if this part could be covered with a 7 day JR Pass. It may be better to buy normal tickets if this would not be possible.
Hope this helps,

Watch: UK Theater Gives Audiences Unique 'Kingsman' Experience
by Ethan Anderton
January 20, 2015
Source: Vue Cinemas
With movie theater attendance falling last year so much that the box office hit the lowest number seen by the industry in 20 years, surely audiences need something to make their experience a little more memorable and worth the price of admission. Well, the United Kingdom theater chain Vue Cinemas decided to craft a little experience for unsuspecting moviegoers seeing Kingsman: The Secret Service by offering them a "free Kingsman upgrade." At first it seems like it's just an escort from the titular secret service organization accompanying them, but then things get intense when some armed bad guys try to get in the way. It's clearly meant to be a stunt gone viral, but it's at least a cool, original idea. to promote the film. Watch below now!
Here's the cool Kingsman: The Secret Service experience from Vue Cinemas (via Live for Film):
You can still watch the latest red band trailer for Kingsman: The Secret Service right here.
Kingsman: The Secret Service is directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class), who also co-wrote the script with Jane Goldman, based on the comics by Mark Millar & Dave Gibbons (Watchmen). The story follows the story of an agent (Colin Firth) in a super-secret spy organization that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid (newcomer Taron Egerton) into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. Michael Caine and Samuel L. Jackson also star in the film originally slated for release this fall, but is now arriving on February 13th, 2015.
