Max finds himself trapped in Skull Mountain, deep in the midst of Skull Master's lair. He finds a message written on a cave wall stating: "Max: The Skull Master controls your fate, avoid the traps that lie in wait, battle his beasts, escape their jaws, the Crystal of Souls will then be yours." Max slowly ascends Skull Mountain dodging Giant Crabs and Skeleturtles. Skull Master escapes to the peak with his V.T.O. Hover Pod while Max travels with the Hammerhead Shark Sub to the Skelevator. After defeating Skull Master's henchmen; the Rock Monsters and Warmonger, Max finally confronts his mortal enemy who reveals his true form.

Please confirm that you want to add Critical Thinking Academy: Boost Awareness & Intelligence to your Wishlist.
Easily learn the basics of critical thinking.
Every human needs these skills to keep from being cheated or fooled. Learn how to detect logical fallacies used by the best politicians and salesmen.
Course includes several handouts, including one free book, plus the Critical Thinking Checklist. Multiple examples are given of logical fallacies or other failures in critical thinking, so that you will know how to respond. This course can easily be finished in one day with an hour of video and over a hundred pages of handouts.
The course is divided into modules. The first introduces the basics of critical thinking and includes examples. Each subsequent module presents a topic and claims that have been made about that subject. Video lessons take those claims apart, piece by piece, and analyzes them using critical thinking.
Take this course to sharpen your mind for everything you do in life. Critical thinking skills are essential with any of life's important decisions.
A brief description of critical thinking's benefits, plus an explanation of the course format and handouts.
The basics of critical thinking and how we can be fooled by marketing experts, politicians, the news media and more. Implication can be used to trick us into thinking a certain way without realizing we've been tricked.
This lecture lists some of the approaches of good critical thinking, and also lists some of the skills achieved by learning to improve our own critical thinking.
Two examples are given to help us understand critical thinking in the context of real world concerns.
Introducing the "climate change" debate, presenting some of the claims made in Al Gore's film and pointing out some of the logical fallacies he used to sell his idea.
In this module, we will call the opposing sides,
But we will also be looking at a third perspective to see what both sides seem to be missing.
Good communication depends on people using the same definitions for the words they use. One diplomatic meeting between the British and Americans nearly fell apart because the two English speaking parties did not use the same definition. The British defined "table a discussion" as the act of focusing on that topic—placing the subject in the center of the main table. The Americans, however, defined "table a discussion" as the act of setting a topic aside—placing it on a side table for review at a later time. They weren't talking about the same "table."
The "climate change" debate has similar problems. Several terms have been mangled, poorly defined, or poorly chosen.
This is a musical video introducing "thermophobia" (fear of warmth) as a disease of attitude and lack of knowledge. The video is broken down into 5 parts:
The Warming Alarmists don't explicitly say that "global warming" is bad, but they imply it in a number of ways. But how true is this implication. Here we look at some profound evidence which contradicts their implied claim that warming is bad.
The handout with this lecture explores this idea more deeply.
Al Gore and the United Nations have implied very strongly that CO2 (carbon dioxide) is bad. They call it "carbon pollution." But how true is this implication? Here we look at some simple information which contradicts their claim. Combined with the goodness of warming, carbon dioxide can be seen as nothing but good.
The handout discusses this idea in greater detail.
Another musical video focusing on extreme wind, debunking the notion that global warming causes more extreme weather. The planet Venus has plenty of heat, but zero wind. In this video, you discover why there are no storms on the entire planet.
The Warming Alarmists claim that global warming causes more extreme weather—tornadoes, hurricanes, and the like. How true is this claim? First, we look at the graphs of hurricane counts and energy, plus the NOAA graph of strong tornado counts. Their claim does not match reality. When this video explains the science behind wind energy, in very simple terms, you will understand how horribly wrong the Warming Alarmists have been on this.
Warming Alarmists claim that global warming causes more droughts (as well as floods). Here, you learn why they are wrong. The science is quite simple.
Another musical video explaining extreme weather from other viewpoints. This video not only expands on the topic of strong winds, but also covers the idea of droughts.
The dangers of rising sea level are put into a larger context, comparing those problems to the far more deadly threats of global cooling.
The Warming Alarmists claim that Climate Skeptics (or "deniers") are funded by Big Oil (petroleum industry). This ad hominem logical fallacy is not only a distraction from the topic itself, but the implication is clearly not true. When you find out why, you will understand how cunning the Warming Alarmists have been all along. Their tricks do not work against someone with greater critical thinking skills.
With everything we've learned in this course module, it becomes clear that the "climate change" claims by the Warming Alarmists are fraudulent. Here, we look at two possible reasons for this hoax:
This is not an exhaustive study, but it does present some of the facts which help us to put the debate into a more global perspective. Much more research is needed to achieve solid answers, but this video gives us a possible starting point.
This review looks at many of the techniques which Warming Alarmists have used to distract us from the use of critical thinking.
We also look at how the use of some terms are meant to stop any discussion before it has a chance to start—terms like "settled science" and "scientific consensus."
This is your invitation to tell me where you would like to explore next. What topics would you like to see included in this course? Critical thinking can be applied to nearly everything in life. Some topics require more critical thinking than others. And some subjects can be dangerous without it.
The attached list is only a small sampling of the possibilities. So, let me know what you would like included in an upcoming module.

Nothing perhaps tastes better than the sweet taste of success and who could testify it better than the members of Calcutta Choir' Twenty-five years may not be a very long time in the annals of history, but for an organisation built from the scratch by a group of talented, dedicated and committed youths who had dreamt of doing some fruitful work in the cultural hemisphere, 25 years is a long and eventful journey indeed. Setting up an organisation is perhaps easier than running it successfully, and members of Calcutta Choir can lay claim to being cultural ambassadors of the country and enriching the cultural field with their valuable contribution. They can at last sit back comfortably on their laurels. On the occasion of Calcutta Choirs silver jubilee, a very special variety programme has been organised by its members. The tableaux of programme will be a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The choir has been instrumental in spreading the message of harmony and solidarity through traditional folk dance and music, and amalgamating them with contemporary issues and themes.

Hey I'm 16 and 5'1 and weigh 148 pounds.. I really want to get down to the 130s at least.. I go running every once in a while and used to do kickboxing. Can someone please tell me if I should get a personal trainer. And how much one would cost.. And if not what sport should I do?

You could compromise - Join a gym, get a fitness assessment and they will give you a training program to follow.00|00|0
By the way you look very well
Most Helpful Girl
you are obviously doing something right if you look like that at 5'1 and 148. Generally for a short girl who is 148, that's a little high. However, you look perfect. You must already have a lot of muscle or something, or you just carry your weight really well. You shouldn't change a thing. I don't think you should get any thinner than that.00|00|0

Measure 91 was approved by Oregonian voters on November 4th, 2014 legalizing the possession, use, and cultivation of marijuana for adults 21 and over. The measure, the "Control, Regulation, and Taxation of Marijuana and Industrial Hemp Act", orders the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to oversee and establish a new legal regulatory system for recreational cannabis. The OLCC will regulate and licenses marijuana businesses, as well as create rules for advertising, lab testing, DUID, etc.
Adults 21 and over are allowed to posses up to 8 ounces of marijuana at their home, or 1 ounce in public. They are also allowed to grow up to 4 plants in their home, out of view of public property (e.g. sidewalks, roads, turnpikes, etc).

text: DALLAS (AP) ¿ Oil and gas developer Denbury Resources Inc. said Sunday it will pay $2.64 billion in cash and stock to purchase Encore Acquisition Co., in a move to become one of the largest independent oil exploration and production companies in North America. Encore shareholders will receive $50 for each share held, including $15 in cash and $35 in stock. The purchase price represents a 35 percent premium to the stock's closing price Friday. Based on Encore's 52.8 million common shares outstanding at July 31, the acquisition is valued at about $2.64 billion. Denbury also plans to assume more than $1 billion in Encore debt and will take over Encore's minority stake in Fort Worth, Texas-based Encore Energy Partners LP, valued at nearly a half billion dollars. In total, the companies are estimating the deal is worth $4.5 billion. Denbury operates mainly in Mississippi, and holds interests in the Barnett Shale region near Fort Worth, Texas, and properties onshore in Louisiana, Alabama and Southeast Texas. It owns hefty reserves of carbon dioxide, which Denbury injects into older oil wells to boost oil production, a method known as tertiary production. Fort Worth, Texas-based Encore buys and develops oil and natural gas reserves from onshore fields in the United States.

text: THE WULF DEN: THE LONGEST MONTH MAY 6, 2004 Is it just me, or does every football fan wish we could fast forward through the month of May? Think about it: every other month has something significant going on in the NFL. July through August is training camp and the preseason. The regular season then picks up and, for some teams, at least, continues into January. In February, free agency kicks in. In March, we have the scouting combine. April is, of course, draft month. And June is when many teams hold their first mini-camps with both veterans and rookies in attendance, as well as the first opportunity (June 1st) to dump veteran salaries and spread the cap hit into next year. So what about May? The veterans continue to participate in the offseason training program (unless you are Larry Allen, of course), and the rookies aren't allowed back until their classes are done (mid-May, at the earliest). Most of the moves in free agency have already been made, and the best players have already been signed, so there's not much happening on that front. There is, perhaps, a debate about whether teams will cut a player or two after June 1st, as well as consideration about those who may be available from other teams. But that's it. So what are we to do, looking for something worthy of discussion, knowing that the big events aren't going to happen until at least June 1st? I don't know about the rest of you, but I think it's time for a little speculation about what may be on the horizon. And, as the Unofficial GM, I figure it might as well be me that starts the conversation. So, here's a look at what the future may hold for the team between now and the time training camp rolls around. Quarterbacks As much as many people may want to make this position into a big story, it simply isn't…at least this year. Quincy Carter is going to be the starter, and Big Bill seems not only comfortable with that, but also encouraged by Carter's offseason work. And Drew Henson is going to be the #3 guy, holding the clipboard and learning the system—not to mention the speed of the NFL game—for at least a year. The only way he'll get into a game situation is if the Cowboys are out of the playoff picture towards the end of the season or if there are severe injuries at the position—in which case they're still out of the playoff picture. The only question at this position is who will be #2? Many people are convinced that Vinny Testeverde is on his way as soon as he is released June 1st. It makes a lot of sense, really, as he provides a guy who can come in and start, if needed, and knows the game enough to mentor both Quincy and Drew. And he's a Parcells guy. But it's not a done deal, as of yet, mainly because the Cowboys want to see what Chad Hutchinson does in Europe—and what Tony Romo does as he continues to work at Valley Ranch. Hutch hasn't been lighting up Europe, and his fumbling problems have followed him across the Atlantic. But he hasn't played poorly either. The real question is, has he done enough to make any team believe he can get it done in the NFL. Right now, I'd have to say it's doubtful, but possible. Remember that, for all intents and purposes, he's just now finishing his first full season of football in the last five years or so. If any of the "QB gurus" around the league think they can still salvage something out of him, they may be willing to part with a conditional draft pick to acquire him. And I think the Cowboys would snatch it gladly if it were offered. The real enigma in this picture may be Romo. Parcells likes this guy, and thought it more important that he learn the system in Dallas than go to Europe to get reps. In other words, "You'll get your reps in Dallas, young man…just pick up the system so you can contribute if I need you." Doesn't really sound like someone who is training camp fodder to me, but only time will tell. Don't rule him out just yet, though. Running Backs/Fullbacks Troy Hambrick wants to go to Oakland, and if there's any way the Cowboys can send him they will. I think it very unlikely that he will be on the roster this year, especially with the number of FBs that Parcells has signed. Rookie Julius Jones is the frontrunner to carry the load, regardless of how Parcells may choose to phrase his responses. His back up may come from a battle between Erik Bickerstaff and ReShard Lee. Sound improbable? Then look at the alternatives. Richie Anderson is going to get some carries, and he's going to catch quite a few passes. But Parcells is aware that Anderson is aging, and he's not going to want him to take the every down beating necessary to be a primary back—especially since he wants him to be his primary third-down back. That spells bad news for Aveion Cason, whose two primary contributions—third down back and kick returner—may both be turned over to others. Add in the fact that he couldn't stay healthy last year, and he may be a longshot to make the roster. As many as two of the three true FBs on the roster may make the squad, with Polite likely the early odd man out. Jamar Martin is a thunderous blocker, and Darien Barnes is a special teams demon. So the only players left to battle it out behind Jones are Bickerstaff and Lee. If Lee can stay healthy, I think he has the inside track because he has a better combination of size and speed and appears early on to have better instincts when he hits the hole. If a veteran becomes available that would be willing to come in for a decent price, don't be surprised if Dallas looks into it. A dark horse possibility—the Titans' Eddie George, who may be a cap casualty. Still, Bill and Jerry are building a team for the long haul, and a veteran like George wouldn't fit that picture. Wide Receivers/Tight Ends The top three receivers are set: Keyshawn, Glenn, and Bryant. Randal Williams signed a two-year deal, despite never catching an NFL pass, because of his special teams ability. So the questions come with the #5…and possibly a #6…receiver. Last year's rookie #5 WR, Zuriel Smith, was a bit of a disappointment. He was expected to pick up the punt return game, but was largely ineffective. He'll have to pick it up in training camp to keep his spot. So who will he battle? Right now, the most danger may be coming from rookie Patrick Crayton, who not only was solid returning kicks and punts in the recent mini-camp, but caught nearly everything thrown anywhere in his zip code. His next biggest competitor? Likely another rookie in undrafted James Newson. Very few people—including Newson, himself—expected him to go undrafted, and he's out to prove himself. The other receivers are bunched this early, with rookie Brandon Middleton slightly ahead of the pack. But with the likes of Cedric James and Terrance Copper as challengers, the real battle may involve Crayton, Newson, and Smith…for only one or two positions. At TE, most of us thought we were set going into the draft. Now, there is at least one question: what is going to happen with James Whalen? Jeff Robinson may catch a pass here and there, but he is the deep-snapper, plain and simple. The combination of Dan Campbell and Jason Witten will get most of the snaps, depending on whether it is a pass-first or run-first formation. Rookie Sean Ryan caught the ball well in the mini-camp, but he is known primarily as a blocker. And Whalen? He's an H-back and a special teams guy. His best hope for a roster spot may be if only one FB makes the squad. So, essentially, he may be battling FB Darien Barnes for a special teams spot. Offensive Line There has been a whole lot of movement on the offensive line, and there is still a whole lot up in the air. The biggest question may still be Larry Allen. The draft day trade to the Lions was nixed by Allen, who said that he would refuse to restructure his contract because he'd rather go to Oakland. But with Oakland's picks on the offensive line, they no longer need him. Parcells says that, if Allen comes to mini-camp in good condition, he'll have a clean slate. If he doesn't, don't be surprised if he doesn't end up in Detroit after all. After June 1st, it would be a lower cap hit for Dallas, and Detroit has the cap space to make a move whether he likes it or not. At this point, I expect him to be in Dallas…but a lot will depend on him. The rest of the line has similar questions. Will Al Johnson continue his current rate of recovery and be able to step in as the starter? Will Gurode finally step up or will Peterman beat him out? Can Jacob Rogers be effective switching from the left side to the right? And, if Allen does get sent elsewhere, who will step up to start at LG? A lot of questions. There is some hope, though, if nothing more than the number of options. C/G Gennaro DiNapoli was re-signed, and provides a quality veteran presence. Likewise for G/OT Demingo Graham. Matt Lehr was solid, if unspectacular, at C last year, but he, too, can play G. Torrin Tucker has a vast amount of potential, and is still learning to play OT after playing G in college. Kurt Vollers got starts at RT last year, but can also play the left side. And don't forget Tyson Walter, who can play anywhere along the line. Add in the anchor of the O-line—LT Flozell Adams—and you have the potential for a solid, deep line…even if Allen is traded. Of course, you also have potential disaster, depending upon how the rookies perform and how badly the injury bug bites. But if Allen stays, and they stay healthy, they're 12 deep without project Javier Collins. Defensive Line I think this group is improved from last year, despite many opinions to the contrary. Marcellus Wiley is a huge step up from Ebenezer Ekuban, and he should rebound from his down time in San Diego to approach the numbers he put up with Buffalo. The switch of Greg Ellis to the right side may make him the pass-rush force we have been waiting for. And, according to Parcells, both Eric Ogbogu and Kenyon Coleman have made huge strides in the offseason. On the inside, Glover is entrenched at one DT position. The other, however, may be a battle to watch. Willie Blade surprised many with his elevation to the starting position last year, but he'll get a big challenge from veteran Leonardo Carson. Parcells has talked glowingly of his offseason work. This improvement may mean that the remaining DT slot on the roster is fought between Daleroy Stewart, Shaun Smith, Jermaine Brooks, and rookie Cedric Hilliard. Linebackers Parcells loves LBs, and he's admitted that Dat and Dexter have convinced him by their play to overlook their less than ideal size. But Bradie James has radically increased his strength in the offseason program, and has an outside chance of challenging Coakley for the starting spot, next year if not this. Markus Steele will have to continue his good work on special teams to retain his roster spot. There will be battle for what may be the last roster spots, and special teams play will be the deciding factor. Jamal Brooks (who may have the edge since he can play any of the three LB positions), Scott Shanle, Keith O'Neil, and rookies Kalen Thornton and Ryan Fowler will have their hands full making the roster, and the rookies' best bet may be the practice squad. Defensive Backs If there's one spot the Cowboys will be watching closely, particularly as cuts begin to happen next month, it is CB. Newman is set on one side, but Mario Edwards' departure has opened a hole on the other. Pete Hunter is the guy expected to step up and fill the gap, and he seems to have the physical skills to do so. The real question is whether or not he has the instincts to be an NFL CB. His main competition—at least for the moment, will come from veteran Donald Mitchell and rookie Bruce Thornton. But Mitchell is coming back from a season on IR, and has never has been more than a high quality nickleback. As for Thornton, he shows some potential, but is a rookie…and has only been playing CB for the past two years or so. Asking to contribute more than in the nickel or dime may be asking a bit much. Bill Parcells also seems impressed with the work that Jameel Powell has been putting in this offseason, so he may have more of a chance to make the squad than many expected. The only other corners on the roster are Andrew Davison and rookies Nathan Jones and Jacques Reeves. They are longshots to make the roster, and will only do so if they excel on special teams. One or both may end up on the practice squad if they show some ability in training camp. With the lack of experience and depth at CB, a veteran signee wouldn't be much of a surprise. The rumored interest in trading for a player like Ty Law, however, is likely just that—rumors. The only two corners under contract that I could see any possibility of trading for at this point are Oakland's Charles Woodson—who was designated their franchise player but has not yet signed his offer—and Green Bay's Mike McKenzie—who is unhappy with his contract and has demanded a trade. The Packers may eventually be willing to take a mid round pick just to get rid of the headache. The Raiders have signed several veteran corners, and may be willing to move Woodson if they can get something decent in return. But Troy Hambrick won't get it done… At safety, the starters are set with Roy and Woody. Tony Dixon is the #3 guy, and has been playing better in the last year or so. They need to improve on Lynn Scott, who makes some big special teams hits but is a defensive liability. His replacement could be Keith Davis, who was released last year after getting involved in a nightclub incident—even though he was not a guilty party or even directly involved. But Parcells thought enough of him to bring him back, and he could steal this spot if he shows what he did before. As for the two rookies—Steve Cargile and Tom Crowder—they'll have to dominate in special teams play to have a chance. That may play into Crowder's hands, as he is known as a special teams ace. Kickers/Punters Billy Cundiff will get challenged, but he is the favorite to retain his job. That means that the punter battle may be decided by whichever punter also has the ability to kickoff. With Toby Gowin gone, it may well be a rookie that starts the season at punter. Of course, if Parcells isn't satisfied with the production he's getting, he could try to snag a veteran after June 1st. Closing Thoughts As of right now, the roster may not change appreciably prior to training camp. There are a couple of players who may still be traded—either before or after June 1st—and there may be one or two additions after June 1st. But we could be looking at what we have to work with right now. If that is the case, May may no longer feel like the longest month by the time the season is over. Wulfman

Daddy has a new gun. I purchased a custom rifle, chambered in .270 Winchester, built by the late Thomas Ward. It is built on a 1950 vintage CZ Brno Model 21 Mauser action. I'm a pushover for great wood on a rifle.
I have a Leupold MK 4 scope for it but I'm waiting for the special 30mm scope rings to arrive. Finding rings to fit the 19mm dovetailes built into the CZ action was not easy.

I have also installed spiceworks on one of our customers servers, and i get the information from them with remote spiceworks, but i have some trouble getting computers to recognice correctly.
The server is a SBS 2003 with ISA 2004 ( i have removed strict rpc).
The server where spiceworks is installed identify correct, and another Windows 2008 server on the domain also identify correct, but none of the xp computers identify correct, onnly marked as unknown. I could use some help here :)

I have gone trough those posts, but still have the issue.
I also see that all Windows 7 computers on the network is identified as Httpweb devices and not computers.
The main reason to all this trouble i belive is the default group policy in sbs 2003 called "small business server client computer". When this is applied to the OU where Windows 7 and server 2008 was i could see in the advanced firewall on those devices that "remote desktop" smb wmi was disabled on the clients. When i moved the Server 2008 to a new OU that did not inheritance the parent settings and then added one afther one group policy i saw that the gpo i mentioned above was the one causing this, but i dont understand why, there is no block settings in this gpo, only allow.
Feb 7, 2012 at 4:11 UTC
Spiceworks use WMI to get the data from the scan, so you need it running on the clients, the most of the tutorials ask to enable remote desktop too in order to get a full scan.
Mar 16, 2012 at 3:04 UTC
Regarding my last post, the reason for the block rules that were created was because the same firewal rules was present in 2 different policies. They should not be found in the "small business server client computer" so i removed them from there and afther policy update everything was much better :)

(and largest city)
|Council of Siddharthang
The Foundation of the Siddharthist Republic
The Siddharthist Republic was established after a purge of Buddhists from The Maurya Empire. These Buddhists were not welcomed in any of the Empires of Africa. Even the Satavahana believed that they were a traiterous lot who were seeking to spy on the Satavahana. The Zulu and the Bantu were similarly disposed to them but for their constant attempts at conversion. They were given small, and ghetto-like, areas to reside in the outskirts of Bantu cities but eventually were driven out entirely. They followed their way down to a city they believed was a glorious new site. There they met many people who were much more open to their religious practices. This group of people, because they had become so distinct from the Buddhists, became known as Siddharthists. Their teachings centered around words and records of the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha.
This new site was named Siddharthang, after their prophen Siddhartha, and they managed to assert their domination over the region by organizing an army. This army, rag tag as it was, conquered a native Africa tribe known as the Xhosa. A similar fate befell the other tribes and the people aroudn the Orange River. The Siddharthists ended up finding vast mines of resources and gold, which proved tremendously beneficial to the Siddharthist economy. The Siddharthis had a King at first, upon their arrival, but after his death power fell back into the hands of the Council of Siddharthang. This body was centered and established around the original families and though they were a Buddhist country, there was still heavy and clear divides between the rich and the poor.
Leaders of the Council fo Siddharthang
Jahangir 1087-1123 (370 AD)

The FSB KS variant (Fully Shrouded Barrel) is for those shooters who want a quiet rifle, but do not want the standard silencer that comes with all HW100's. The shrouded barrel does help to deaden the sound, but, it is not as quiet as other models, , the sleak and elegant lines of the HW100FSB however, make up for that. The HW100 is probably the finest all round PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) on the market today. It is the darling of the target shooting world with multiple national level shooters using them. It is also found in the hands of the best hunters and plinkers alike. Target shooters love the HW100 because of its reliability and accuracy and hunters love it because of the multi-shot magazine system, high shot count and usability. The HW100 is a regulated rifle (Weihrauch call it an air metering system) and has a fully adjustable trigger and legendary build quality. The HW100 is often described as the only Air-Rifle you will ever need.

At least four in ten couples who suffer repeated miscarriages may be carrying a faulty gene, research has found, which can be successfully treated with drugs.
Fertility doctors have found that a faulty gene that can be carried by either parent can trigger miscarriages.
It is the first time it has been discovered that a gene carried by the father can cause miscarriage in the mother.
The fault causes improper blood clotting and can be treated with blood thinners such as aspirin and heparin.
One in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage but it is thought that recurrent miscarriages may be a bigger problem than infertility and may affect hundreds of thousands of couples.
Doctors at Care Fertility, the biggest private provider of IVF treatment, found the faulty gene, known as C4M2, in 44 per cent of their patients compared with just 15 per cent of the general population.
Prof Simon Fishel, managing director, said the gene could be a major cause of recurrent miscarriage.
With proper treatment the number of couples having healthy babies increased to 38 per cent, a similar proportion to other infertility patients of the same age.
The findings were published in the journal Reproductive Biomedicine Online.
The fault means the embryo is unlikely to implant in the womb and if it does it may do so insufficiently, causing late miscarriage or growth problems in the baby.
If the women is the carrier of the faulty gene she is also at risk of complications such as blood clots.
Prof Fishel, lead author on the publication, said "Very recently a new genetic marker has been found that predisposes couples to the risk of miscarriage, which we call the C4/M2 variant.
"In addition to the risk of implantation failure and miscarriage, it is linked to blood clotting disorders, pre-eclampsia and low birth weight babies.
"What I do find remarkable, is that in the population of patients studied, the man has the same chance as the woman to pass on this variant to the developing embryo and disturb successful implantation. Where the genetic variant exists, the chance of delivering a baby is reduced to one in four that of fertile couples."
Care Fertility now intend to screen selected patients for the faulty gene so they can be treated appropriately.
Prof Fishel said: "Whilst this test is available for all patients undergoing IVF, we are focused on patients who have had recurrent miscarriage or failed implantation. The risk is the same whether the male or female carries the gene variant – so both partners need to be tested. We hope to increase the chance of pregnancy and live birth, decrease the risk of miscarriage and reduce the incidence of obstetric complications arising from this genetic mutation."
The research found that couples with the gene who had IVF treatment without blood thinners, none had successful pregnancies. However of those with the gene who were treated, 38 per cent had successful pregnancies.
A spokesman for the Miscarriage Association said: "This adds to the growing evidence of the links between infertility and miscarriage, especially at the level of implantation.
"The study seems to show a clear difference between the affected parents who were treated and those who weren't.
"We always welcome new research into factors that can increase the risk of miscarriage, so we'll be looking closely at these findings with the help of our research expert advisors."

Ive just recently working at this blackberry vineyard and I'm a blond white girl out there with about 200 Mexicans. well all the time these Mexican guys will just come up to me handing me hand fulls of blackberries and somebody said it is because they like me. well I met this one guy he is really sweet. he is wild and funny but when he looks at me, he looks different. We look at each other deeply into each others eyes and smile, all the time. and well he kept asking if I had a boyfriend, if I'm married, can I dance, can I cook, do I like Mexicans? well and I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said no. and then he said, you my baby? and I said yes. then a little while later he was talking in Spanish to some people and I said, what are you'll talking about? he said..."I Love You." and I was like...aww! I love you too. and we talk about our family and he says when he meets my mom he's going to hug his new momma. and I'm like his mom? and another person said yes, you moma is his momma? and I said why not! and then he was like YESS! and then the person was like okay! Now you'll are one, you'll are married! and I'm like I'm too young to be married ..anyways after that conversation he stated calling me baby and his girl and he will yell out my name and say he loves me. and I really don't know if he is just playing around or if he is serious...please clear this up.
Most Helpful Guy
He thinks you are his girlfriend since you agreed with him with you being his "baby". You better settle this quick or it may get further down the road. Now he is telling everyone you are his girlfriend, your not going to get that many blackberries anymore. Talk to him. Ask him. Then do whatever you want.11|00|0

Okinawan Goya Champuru
Recipe by Tex-Mix Experienced
Goya is a gourd that is bitter by itself but the egg and spam reduce the bitterness and it WORKS!!! If you have seen it around but don't know what to do with it, try this. There are many healthy properties in the goya.
Top Review by muohiosarah
I love Goya Champuru. The recipe was great although I did make some changes. I do not enjoy spam so just used the bacon instead. I only used 4 eggs and they were way too many. When you make this recipe, and you should, use probably 2-3 eggs. It helps if you add them slowly.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (12 ounce) can spam lite, small cubed
- 1 bitter melon, sliced in half lengthwise, scrape inside with spoon well, and slice thin
- 1 (16 ounce) package soft tofu, cut into large chunks (will break up more while cooking)
- 2 slices bacon
- 6 -8 eggs, beaten
Directions See How It's Made

Column: How To Make Music At Home
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Chancelor Bennett, better known by his stage name and musical moniker Chance The Rapper is well known for his unique and charmingly positive approach to hip-hop, but he is perhaps known even more for his commercial success without the assistance of a record label. His most recent album Coloring Book grossed $2.13 million in only its first three months of public availability, and only through online streaming. Chance tours the world performing his music now, but he most certainly was not born famous. He began his music career with the music he wrote and produced himself in his hometown of Chicago. In fact, the first draft of his first full mixtape 10 Day was written during his 10 day suspension from Jones College Prep High School. If Chance can go from suspended to superstar all by himself, there is nothing saying you cannot either, but first you have got to start producing your own music.
This column will give you the necessary knowledge to start making your own tracks, and set you on your path to potential fame and fortune. I have been writing and recording my own music from home since I was 13, and I am well versed in the technology that you will need to properly do so.
First things first; you will need to select a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) that you would like to record and compose with. There are many competitors out there, ranging from LMMS, a free, open source DAW available for Mac, Windows and even Linux, to more professional, industry approved programs like Cubase or Pro Tools. I personally recommend Ableton Live 9, for the sole reason that it can be used as a recording studio and or an incredibly versatile instrument to give live performances with. Not only can you use Ableton to record audio tracks and MIDI sequences (MIDI refers to any sort of instrument you can play and record inside the software), you can use its unique Session View mode to record "Clips" of audio or MIDI data and trigger them in real time, allowing you to mix and match a countless amounts of ideas and segments to perform complex pieces for an audience. If you are not much for performing, Ableton still comes with many essential effects and tools to make quality sounding tracks, and it has an incredibly smooth and flexible workspace. If you end up making your songs with four tracks of audio and a certain few plug ins every time, you can set Ableton to load up new files with these parameters, allowing you to skip the set up and get right into creating. You can use your own computer keyboard to play and record notes and sounds, or for the more musically inclined, tons of options for MIDI controller keyboards are out there, all with different features to accommodate for your specific needs, and some lines of controller such as the Novation Launchpad series or the Akai APC series come with copies of Ableton Lite which allow for up to eight tracks of audio or MIDI per song. Subsequent versions of the software can range anywhere from $639 to $1,118, however, so price is definitely an important consideration to make when selecting your DAW.
Not much of an electronics fan? Ableton (or practically any DAW for that matter) can record guitars, vocals, drums, glockenspiels, you name it. There is also a bit of editing capabilities for audio files too in the program. You can quantize (sync to tempo) audio which is useful for getting percussion exactly on beat, or you can nudge transients (little time markers that analyze spikes in an audio file) to get rid of slight timing errors in something like a keyboard melody. You can shift the pitch of files, add effects, and Ableton Lite even comes with guitar amp modeling software, so you can get started making anything from disco to death metal all on your computer. Hundreds of drum samples and quite a few digital instruments also come with the software. Of course to record audio you will need microphones, and different microphones have different uses. For recording louder audio or audio from one direction like a guitar or drum, the Shure SM57 is an industry standard and is relatively inexpensive for the quality of the mic (around $89.99). Of course you will need an audio interface to use most standard microphones, but if you are looking for the most simple approach, you can simply use a USB microphone like the Blue Yeti (around $100) which has multiple recording modes for different situations. Do not let prices stop you, however. It is possible to make full compositions with nothing but the internal microphone of a laptop or a Guitar Hero microphone controller (both of which I have used myself).
Anyone can start making music from home, but to achieve the success of someone like Chance, you will need time more than anything. Virtually no one starts writing songs and immediately has a unique style or genius concept right out of the gate, and an important value I like to keep in terms of equipment is that it is better to become skilled with only a few pieces than to keep buying new things in hopes that your tracks will become more interesting as a result. Remember to start slow, keep learning, and most of all, have fun. In the end, music is expression, and all of the programs and hardware used to make it are exactly that. It is all about what you feel like making, and how you think you can best create your vision, and with a bit of know how you can start making your vision today.

....is there a way to make fondant, but with artificial sweetners? A friend is diabetic and loves the fondant covered cookies, but what do I do for the fondant?
I know someone out there has a recipe for me!
I've been trying to figure this out myself.........there is places online to order sugar free marshmallows believe it or not........and someone on here told me if I mix splenda with cornstarch in a food processor I can make a substitute for powdered sugar......however I haven't tested this out myself yet! HTH you some.
Im constantly reading through cooking blogd and many of them belong to a group called "Daring Bakers", all of them will bake the same thing and blog about it. One of the challenges was to make homemade mashmallows. I know that I read that someone used splenda or a mix of splenda and sugar to make them, I just know it. That being said I have no clue what so ever what blog it came from.
But I do know that its been done before, it that helps you at all. Maybe google Daring Bakers and read through a few blogs. Perhaps you could email one of them and ask if they know of the original Splenda marshmallow baker....
What cookie recipe do you use? I've been looking for a sugarfree recipe that actually tastes good.
