The hardest climb you've never heard of? The Giro d'Italia has included the Colle Fauniera sparingly and needs to go back at some point to correct this-. For everyone else it's open all summer.
The Route: there are three ways to the top but this is the route up the Valle Grana from Caraglio through Pradlèves and onwards, the route used by the Giro d'Italia in the past.
On a map or with roadsigns it is the SP23, SP112 and the SP333. From Pradlèves it is 22.4km long at an average of 7.5% but there are long sections at over 10%.
The Feel : turn back for a moment and the plains of the Pianura Padana stretch out like a rumpled blanket with buildings and vegetation the only breaks on the horizon. Then look forward to you see the mountains dominate the view ahead. If some climbs start in the mountains, this road sees the rider approach from the flat. It's a perfect start: gentle, warm and lazy as you pass kiwi orchards and signs for farms selling cheese. The Slow Food movement was born down the road and everything so far seems so languid.
Slowly the valley closes in and after the village Pradlèves – "city of cheese" boasts the sign – you climb up a river gorge, the road taking the route cut by the water.
There are signs for cyclists, literally as they indicate what's ahead. It's around the Gino Bartali hairpin that the road rears up and the surface deteriorates. The 13.77% slope – such precision from the sign – is steep enough but the crumbling road surface forces you pick your way, making it harder.
Onwards and the approach to the village of Chiotti is one of the hardest sections, the double-digit gradient is obvious. Above is the Santuario di San Magno and a brief flat section. After a few buildings the road shrinks in width and it's back to 10-12% slope, now with added altitude to make it harder.
A tough gradient and the altitude aren't unique but what makes this even more of a grind is the road itself, its surface is rasping like a cat's tongue at best, cracked and crumbling elsewhere which robs more energy and why it feels harder than the Stelvio or Galibier. The views are worth it, green pastures sit below huge towers of rock. You can look back down to the plains below though the path you came up, another world so far below. Take a moment to enjoy these views because once at the top the views aren't so good. The top of the pass comes into view, a visible finish line from afar and helpfully the slope eases. At the top there's a small car park with a large memorial to Marco Pantani.
Descend and you'll find a few rough sections but in time you're back down below the treeline and in comforting woodland. The effort from before is only a memory. Was it really that hard?
The History: the Giro had to wait until 1999 to climb this. It's not as if the road was a secret but year after year the race skipped it. Were they afraid? It turns out they were and the race only went up once the descent had been improved says Daniel Friebe in Mountain Higher. It highlights how races return to familiar ground and there several major climbs that the Giro has yet to visit, the Nivolet for example.
When they did visit in 1999 it was spectacular and riders, many with blood as thick as ketchup, were floundering. José Jimenez tried a big gear attack halfway but cracked and then fell to pieces losing double-digit minutes. Laurent Jalabert surrendered his maglia rosa and Marco Pantani ended the day in pink but was later to leave the race red-faced after his haematocrit test leaving Ivan Gotti to win a second Giro. Arguably the Fauniera was the high point of his career and what followed after was a long descent.
It was due to return in 2001 but a police raid on the Giro, sometimes known as the Sanremo Blitz saw the stage cancelled in the aftermath. It should go back and hopefully it'll be third time luck for a happy ending. But when? There's no ski station to bid for the finish so it depends on the local towns nearby bidding and if they do pay the money the mountain will take all the glory.
Pantani Memorial: sometimes it seems the old rule of building a chapel on top of a hill in Italy has been surpassed by a new one where they erect a Pantani memorial. It's an exaggeration but there are molto memorials. This one is haunting for the dark eyes and grey stone.
Name: the pass has two names, the Colle Fauniera but also the Colle dei Morti, the "pass of the dead". The more mortal name comes from a battle a few hundred years ago in the area while the rocky peak of the Cima Fauniera nearby provides the other name. Today both are used interchangeably.
Climb up and there's also the Colle d'Esischie and the Colle del Vallonetto along the way. The Esischie is a proper road and is used by the annual Fausto Coppi gran fondo, an alternative route to the top used once in the Giro too while the Vallonetto is just a gravel track.
Travel and Access: Cuneo is the nearest large town with rail and autostrada links and it sits roughly equidistant between Turin and Nice in France. There are a lot of other climbs to do in the area but it can be hard to pick a base. You need to ride far up one valley get a big climb and possibly cross to France and a circular loop for the day is rare.

If you have ended up on the ground, then a mistake has been made and you will have to make the best out of a bad situation - and quickly. The priority is to hurt your combative subject and get back to your feet as soons as you can.

Not to devalue your enjoyment of the medium, but every TV show I've seen has laid an insipid sheen over the true events, and used over-the-top music cues and dialogue -- tragedy's canned laughter -- to emphasize some insipid editorial gloss on morality. To be fair to you, I'll acknowledge that many true crime writers do that as well. But the best of them intend to be as true to the subject as possible, and that (ideally) includes sticking to actual recorded or recollected conversations.
I believe in doing away with glossiness and cues wherever possible and letting the audience formulate their own conclusions. I've always loved what Nelson Algren said in his
Paris Review
If any writer can catch the routine lives of people just living in that kind of ring of fire to show how you can't go out of a certain neighborhood if you're addicted, or for other reasons, that you can't be legitimate, but that within the limitation you can succeed in making a life that is routine . . . if somebody could write a book about the routine of these circumscribed people, just their everyday life, . . . just an absolutely prosaic life without any particular drama to it in their eyes—if you could just do that straight . . . well, you'd have an awfully good book.
Algren was talking about addicts, but I try to do this (albeit slightly ironically) with killers.
I think I remember something of that (it's been a while since I read the books).
I particularly enjoy that exchange between Ressler and Kemper because it's
, and because Ed Kemper's characteristic thought processes amuse me.
Three people in my family are practicing psychologists. The one I'm closest to has the job you see in true crime shows: He's the person who does evaluations of violent criminals. His field is stippled with investigators, nurses and therapists who underestimate the danger of individuals like Kemper and some of them make disastrous mistakes -- not only for themselves, but for others who are then endangered.

Question: Construct a 95 confidence interval for the mean level of
Construct a 95% confidence interval for the mean level of each pollutant for the Year1. 3. Is it reasonable to conclude that the mean levels in Year 1 were lower than the baseline levels for some or all of the pollutants? Which ones, if any? The investigators were concerned that the reduction in pollution levels might be only temporary. Specifically, they were concerned that people might use their new stoves carefully at first, thus obtaining the full advantage of their cleaner burning, but then become more casual in their operation, leading to an increase in pollution levels. We will investigate this issue by constructing confidence intervals for the mean levels in Year2.

This year's Summer of Arcade promotion for Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) has posted their overall sales that are quite uninspiring. The Kinect Angry Birds themed game Wreckateer has actually been the worse selling Summer of Arcade title in this promotion since the year of 2009. Wreckateer was able to grab 6629 players during its first week of sales, Gamsutra reported, this has been the worse total for a Summer of Arcade game since 2009 (the Summer of Arcade promotion started in 2008, but there are actually no records to chart that year's sales).
2012's Summer of Arcade selection was packed with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD, Wreckateer, Deadlight, Hybrid and Dust: An Elysian Tale. Hybrid and Dust is a third-person shooter from developer 5th Cell, followed Wreckateer as the promotion's second worst-selling game since they began tracking all of the records from this sale. It was able to grab 12,168 players in its first week of sale. 8150 people jumped on board in the second week, and then 2654 more during its third week of sales.
The number actually weren't all that bad for Tony Hawk HD during its first week of sales. It saw 98,000 people sign up in it's first week, while more than 53,000 gamers purchased Deadlight and 32,000 purchased Dust: An Elysian Tale. Really, 2012 hasn't been a entirely bad year for Xbox Live Arcade gaming. Trials Evolution and Minecraft, as you would expect, made sales records explode, while indie success like Fez and Spelunky have found critical acclaim.
Counter Strike: GO was able to record over 145,000 players during it's first week of sales. It's definitely demonstrated that while this Summer of Arcade sale may have extraordinarily low, there's still life on the platform to be found.

Our Holy Father Saint Euthymius the Great
Expand Messages
- Never, O man, is that which relates to the Church corrected through
compromises: there is no middle way between the Truth and the lie... and
although one can say that there is a mean between light and darkness which
is called the morning and evening twilight, nevertheless between the Truth
and the lie, however hard you try, you will never find a mean. St. Mark of
Our Holy Fathers and Purity of Faith
He is the true and genuine Orthodox who loves the truth of God, who loves
the Church, who loves the Body of Christ, who esteems divine religion and
the Orthodox Faith above every thing, above the authority, above the
regard, above the genius, above the eloquence, above the philosophy, of
every man whatsoever; who sets light by all of these, and continuing
steadfast and established in the faith, resolves that he will believe
that, and that only, which he is sure the Catholic Church has held
universally and from ancient time; but that whatsoever new and unheard-of
doctrine he shall find to have been furtively introduced by some one or
another, besides that of all, or contrary to that of all the saints.
St Vincent of Lerins
Who have ears let him hear.....
False prophets flatter the sins of their people, and thus, assist them
even more to turn back good from their people. The true prophets go
against the sins of the people, for they go along with good and cry out
against sin, in order to be able to introduce good, which is from God, in
the souls of their people. St. Nikolai Velimirovic
As much as the saints were so compassionate and lenient toward human
weakness, so were they terribly unyielding and unbending in regard to the
confession of the true dogmas of the Faith. Thus, St. Nicholas of Myra in
Lycia struck Arius with his fist at the First Ecumenical Council [Nicaea,
325 A.D.]. St. Anthony left his desert to come to Alexandria to publicly
unmask Arius. St. Euthymius, being greatly pressured by the Empress
Eudocia and the pseudo-Patriarch Theodosius and being unable to debate
rationally with them, left the monastery and hid in the desert. All other
distinguished monks followed his example. Euthymius remained in the desert
until the pseudo-patriarch was ousted and Orthodoxy strengthened. When, in
Jerusalem, the greatest agitation surfaced in the name of the emperor
against the Fourth Ecumenical Council [Chalcedon, 451 A.D.] and when the
entire population was frightened by the heretics, then St. Theodosius the
Great already burdened with old age, as a fearless soldier of Christ, came
to Jerusalem, entered the Great Church, ascended the stairs, waved his
hands and said to the people, "If anyone does not respect the Fourth
Ecumenical Council as he does the four evangelists, let him be anathema."
(Until this time, only four Ecumenical Councils had been convened). All of
those listeners were frightened by those words and none of the heretics
dared to say anything contrary to those words. St
Nikolai Velimirovic
If there are any monks at all in these days, let them show themselves by
their works . The task of monks is to prevent even slightest innovation
being made in the Gospel, lest by setting up an example of heresy a and
communion with heretics for laymen they provide a rationale for their
destruction. /St Theodore Studite
The Fearful, as is said in the Holy Scriptures are not loved by God. A
monk(and any other Orthodox Christian) must not be fearful or cowardly,
but must place his hope in God.Why does God not love the fearful? Because
they are close to despondancy and despair, and these are deadly sins. A
fearful man and coward are on the edge of abyss. A true monk(and any other
Orthodox Christian) must be stranger to such a state. St. Elder
Barsanuphius of Optina 1905
If you think that you are standing steadfastly ,preserving your faith pure
from any admixture of the pernicious heretical novelties and errors either
from the right or from the left , than stand in fear of the Lord and keep
what thou have with all thy might , lest in your negligience you fall to
the error either to the right or to the left from the Royal Path which
leadeth to salvation, but if you have wavered in your faith, than repent
,return from whence thou hast fallen and stand up in fear of the Lord
while there is still time to do so ........, before we are called ,to give
account of our faithfulnes to our Lord...so that we may not share the fate
of ...... that evil servant who saith in his heart ,my Lord delayeth his

Troparion of St Euthymios Tone 4
Rejoice, O desert that has not given birth,/ be glad, thou who hast not
travailed./ For a man of desires has multiplied thy children of the
Spirit;/ he has planted them in piety and reared them on continence to the
perfection of virtues./ By his prayers, O Christ our God, save our souls.
Kontakion of St Euthymios Tone 8
In thine august birth creation found joy,/ and in thy divine memory it
receives the gladness of thy miracles./ Grant these richly to our souls, O
Euthymios,/ and cleanse the stains of our sins that we may sing: Alleluia.
Of noble and distinguished parents, Euthymius was born in the Armenian
town of Melitene near the Euphrates river about the year 377 A.D. He was
the only child, a son, born in answer to the prayer of his mother
Dionisiya, who had a heavenly vision regarding the birth of Euthymius.
From his youth, he lived a life of asceticism, at first in the proximity
of his town [Melitene] but then, after he visited Jerusalem at age
twenty-nine, in the desert between Jerusalem and Jericho called Pharan. He
filled his days and nights with prayer, internal thoughts about God,
contemplation and physical exertion. Around him many disciples gathered
some of whom are glorious saints, such as Cyriac the Hermit, St. Sabas the
Sanctified, Theotictus and others. By God's gift, Euthymius was a great
miracle worker; he expelled demons, healed the gravely ill, brought water
to the desert, multiplied bread and prophesied. He taught monks the love
of labor saying, "If you eat bread, not of your own labor, know that you
are eating of someone else's labor." When some of the younger monks wanted
to fast more than others, he forbade them to do so and commanded them to
come to the communal table so that they would not become prideful as a
result of their excessive fasting. He also said that it was not good for a
monk to move from place to place, for he said, " A tree frequently
transplanted does not bear fruit. Whoever desires to do good, can do it
from the place where he is." About love, he said, "What salt is to bread,
love is to other virtues." During the first week of the Honorable Fast
[Lenten Season], he retreated to the desert and remained there in solitary
silence and godly-thoughts until just before the Feast of the
Resurrection. During his life time, a large monastery [Lavra] was
established in the proximity of his cave which later, throughout the
centuries, was completely filled with monks as a beehive is filled with
bees. His final command was that the monastery always adhere to
hospitality and that the gates of the monastery never be closed. He died
at the age of ninety-seven. The Patriarch of Jerusalem was in attendance
at his funeral. The patriarch waited all day long until the great masses
of people reverenced the body of the saint and only in the evening were
they able to complete the Office for Burial for the Dead. On the seventh
day following his death, Euthymius appeared radiant and rejoicing to
Domentian, his disciple. The Venerable Euthymius, in truth, was a true
"son of Light". He died in the year 473 A.D.
They are considered to be the first Slavic martyrs who are mentioned in
history. They are referred to as Scythians and disciples of St. Andrew the
Apostle. They suffered for the Faith at the hands of their pagan neighbors
on the right side of the Danube river near Varna. Tied up on the ice,
Innas, Nirras and Pinnas froze and died in the Lord.
That whether I or any one else should wish to detect the frauds and avoid
the snares of heretics as they rise, and to continue sound and complete in
the Orthodox faith, we must, with the Lord helping, fortify our own
belief in two ways; first, by the authority of the Divine Law, and then,
by the Tradition of the Orthodox Church. St Vincent of Lerins
\Troparion of St Fechin Tone 3
Thy God-pleasing life, O Father Fechin,/ is an inspiration in our
spiritual struggles./ As thou didst guide souls to Christ in the abbey of
Fore,/ cease not to intercede for all who call upon thy name,/ that our
souls may be saved.
Kontakion of St Fechin Tone 6
Uprooting the tangled weeds of passion, O Father Fechin,/ thou didst cause
the wilderness to blossom as a spiritual Eden./ Pray that we too may be
found worthy of the fruits of the Spirit as we cry:/ Glory to Him Who has
blessed thee,/ glory to Him Who didst teach thee the Orthodox Faith,/ glory
to Him Who brings men to salvation through thy prayers.

Like most of my longer training rides on the bike, the goals are simple. Ride until eventually my body learns to the art of minimizing my muscles demands for oxygen to metabolize an increase in blood lactate and increase overall aerobic thresholds. Usually my journey begins with pain in the legs but usually ends up taxing everything from between one ear to the next and back. Tonight's ride should be no exception.
As turmoil has been a steady companion of late I guess I should have known better. After 2 hours plus of burning the quads with several climbs, I suddenly noticed one of my favorite things in life. The sky was turning all shades of red and blue and the South Bay was preparing for a spectacular show as the sun fell behind the sea. I glided to the end of Hermosa Beach pier and just sat there in a now cold sweat, watching the sky and the water try to outdo each other in a duel of master painters. It was chilly and I was wearing nothing more than swim-bike shots, lycra form fitting vest and arm warmers. But I stared at the show like a kid at a first circus waiting for the next thing to happen.
Then the inevitable began to happen�.I began to think�Shit too late now as this ball had already started to roll. I stared deep into and beyond the swirls of color mixing the waters currents and then upwards beyond the colors of the sky until the colors were all but gone. Suddenly I could see a star shining over the horizon and it did not appear to be a planet. My astrology is lacking so I can't tell which star it was, but it caused me to do what most of us have done one time or another; feel really, really small..
I began to think about time and space and my place in it. And in the end how do my problems even matter? How could they? But to me they freeze me in my tracks�
A "first down" in football is ten yards and it takes light to travel that far in about 30 nano-seconds and light can go 300 million yards (or 30 million first downs) in ONE second. Sorry Reggie Bush, but you ain't got nothing on that!
The same little beam of misguided light would take 1 1/4seconds to get to the moon and to the sun (which is BTW 109 times the size of the Earth) and would take little Mr light beam 8 minutes to arrive.. Hang with me, there is a point.
Jupiter is further out and would take 40 light-minutes to feel the love and Pluto is a whopping 5 � hours away for the train to reach its station and far too many first downs for me to figure out.
Now for the amazing part.. That twinkling and insignificant wobble in the sky is no less than 4 � years away for that wayward beam of light to arrive. Beyond that, my head just really begins to hurt. It must be from slamming it into that brick wall they built in the back of the Universe back when the UFO's also build the Pyramids of Ghiza. It's enough to imagine our little hub of insignificance in all of this expanse too large to wrap my mind fully around.
But if I were to try�..
The nearest cluster of Galaxy (the Virgo Cluster~only remembered because I am one) is
50 million light years away and to totally blow the top of your head off, the visible edge of the universe is 13,700,000,000 (yes, billion) light years away. Or as Cal Sagan would have said "beillionn."
So back to our little flickering and dim light in an otherwise endless forest full of Sequoia Christmas trees we have to ask ourselves the same question. Do we count? Do we matter at all in the end?
From warring nations, to even the little kid crying because Santa's gift this year wasn't what was wished for and everything else in between, it's just a pimple on a pimples ass in the end of a flea no less. That is if fleas actually could get a pimple of course. One day it will be dead silent here and really dark and cold. Somewhere zillions of first downs away and even more zillions of years something will be crawling out of the mud to choke on it's first breath. Or two overzealous leaf bearing zealots will hook it up again,�
Whatever happens, will they eventually stand at the end of a pier one year and look out to the sky and begin to feel just as small and even insignificant?
As I turned my bike around to ride several, but not too many first downs back to my home, a father and son ( I presumed he was his son) approached me for a picture. I said sure and suggested we use the faded light of the ocean for the background. The father said no, it was his son who wanted the picture with me. I just stood there and didn't know what to say. I was sure they thought I was someone else. It's happened plenty of times before. So I kept on saying nothing and smiled for the photo with my arm around the kid.
The smile on the teen aged kid was enough to answer my question with out a word being spoken.
Fuck yes, I mattered.. Or at least the guy they thought I was did...
If this was not significant in any big pictures and about my place in it, then what does that say about me?
I glided back down the pier with my bike.
He glided back down on his wheelchair..

This unique unit has changed little since its introduction in 1998. There are 3 basic settings for the type of distortion: 1.T gives the typically "musical" effect found with triode valves and is good for just "warming up" a sound. 2.P1 means that the "distortion" valve is switched to Pentode mode to add odd harmonic which make the sound more aggressive, but retaining that valve character. 3.P2 is the "No Holds Barred" setting and is very unusual way of configuring an unusual valve, even giving an extra octave at higher bias settings. The Bias control varies the current through the "distortion" valve (6AS6 type) and this current is shown on the milliameter. At low current the Vulture is "starved" and the sound is inclined to be thinner and "break up" easily. High current and the Vulture is over-fed and becomes quite fat and bloated. At medium current (0.25-0.3 mA) it distorts least, and this is the best setting for just "warming up" a sound. When the Vulture is over-driven, the meter may "twitch" and this gives a good indication of how drastic the distortion is. The Low-pass filter has a 12dB/octave slope and will remove unwanted frequencies above 6 or 9 kHz (selectable) so as to make the sound more "rounded". The Drive control and Overdrive switch give the user ample control over the amount the input signal is boosted before it hits the 6AS6 valve. The Output Level controls the amount of signal going to the output valve. This control should be set at 8 + for low distortion and turned back when Drive is increased for more distortion, except when P2 is selected. The Bypass switch completely bypasses the unit so that the Culture Vulture's effect can be accurately compared to the original. Klikk her for ytterligere informasjon.

****Click here for previous installment of Vivid Black –> The Darkside
Without a doubt, Cliff Lewis was a tweeker. He constantly scratched and dug. It made Henry and Ray, crawly skinned, prickly and itchy. Lewis had an old injury and couldn't stab with brutal cruelty like The Zombie Reaper.
Cliff tore at himself, and shared details they didn't have. He did touch the victims, and saw and heard the killer from behind. Black leather jacket. Black boots and bloused pants.
"Um, he muttered. Cussed. Kept sayin' stuff like 'Why him?' and…well, can I cuss?" Is it misbehavin' if I cuss?"
Jaw clenching, Ray glared.
"Well, uh he kept droppin' f-bombs."
Today's installment of Vivid Black is brought to you by the word "misbehavin'" as prompted by Velvet Verbosity's 100 Word prompt. It's a blog hop so click the picture over there on the left to go check out some of the other entries.
Of course, if you are going to bring up the word "misbehavin'" the song "Ain't Misbehavin'" comes straight to mind, so enjoy a little Billie Holiday singing like only Billie could.

I recently had
the unfortunate experience of attending the Cuyahoga Falls City Council meeting on Sept. 6.
My friend and I went to address the mayor and his cabinet on where sponsorship monies to IROK disappeared to and to find out why it took a Ward 8 resident a year and a half to get a water bill. Like the majority of the 200-plus residents in attendance, we mainly wanted to hear the explanation from Mayor Walters and his staff as to why they have been unable to issue accurate utility bills to the residents and business owners in our city. Those in the room sat in stunned silence as we learned that no parallel testing was done on the billing system prior to bills being issued and the person in charge of utility billing had no experience in this area. This was not information that was volunteered by the administration, but thankfully only came to light upon the direct questioning of Council President Mary Ellen Pyke. The main resolution that the mayor offered is that he would be willing to keep the billing office open to arrange extended payment plans to allow residents to cover the overcharges over time. (What about a corrected bill, mayor?)
The worst part of the evening was when residents on fixed incomes, direct withdrawal payments, in public housing, on Social Security and business owners testified as to how they were harmed by the management breakdown.
We both have worked in the business world for many years. If this type of poor planning, execution and lack of responsibility happened in our world, someone would be held responsible. No one in the mayor's administration took responsibility and the mayor apparently is holding no one responsible. Maybe that job is being left up to the voters.

The "liberal media"! Oh, you fools are the source of ENDLESS amusement!<quoted text>
The election or the Media?
Yes, the liberal Media prove us wrong!!!
We can not fight twenty liberal networks against one conservative network, Fox News.
In tip of that: we can not fight Santa Claus giving out toys from the Treasury!
a Political Correct system where it is racist to ask for dictator-wanna-be college transcripts and birth certificate!!!
All we can do is let liberalism IMPLODE as it ALWAYS do. Remember Carter, the dumbest president after Obama, lost to Reagan by a landslide after people saw the true liberal agenda*.
*actually people did not really see the WHOLE Socialist-Communist agenda, just a glance of it!!!
Yes, the "liberal" mainstream media sure got it wrong in the election, while the talking heads on Faux "News" got it right - NOT! The Faux talking heads lied so much they started believing their own lies, just like so many of you righties.
The MSM are far from perfect, but the "liberal bias" charge is tiresome & absurd. It MIGHT have been true in some cases 30 or 40 years ago, but it SURE isn't true today.
Yeah, you guys are SO smart! Everyone to the left of the John Birch Society is a commie pinko socialist leftist idiot, right? I mean, obviously. After all, Marx = Lenin = Stalin = the Roosevelts = Wilson = Mussolini = Hitler = Mao = Pol Pot = Eisenhower = Nixon = Carter = Clinton = Obama, right? Did I leave any out?(Probably... just let me know.)
Because there are NO colors between black & white, NO letters between A & Z. Everyone to your left is a "useful idiot," right?
Here's a clue: Marx, Lenin, Stalin & Mao are DEAD. Communism as an ideology is nearly dead as well. Your bringing it up just shows the poverty of your "arguments." You have nothing related to fact or logic, so you just bring in the straw men.

Juvenon Health Journal Vol. 4 No. 3, March 2005
Curcumin is a naturally occurring polyphenolic compound with antioxidant properties that may protect cells against oxidative stress. (In this respect it is similar to resveratrol, the health-promoting compound in red wine.) It also has anti-inflammatory properties that act in a manner distinct from its antioxidant effect. A recent study showed that curcumin powerfully inhibits production of cytokines and chemokines, proteins playing a key role in inflammation. The study has promising implications for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. For more information, click here.

Turmeric is the spice that gives curry powder its piquant flavor. Epidemiologists have noted that cultures consuming the greatest amount of turmeric have low incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD). India, for example, which uses this spice both in cooking and as an herbal medicine, has one of the lowest incidences of AD in the world. The rate of AD in India is less than one-quarter that of the US.
Of course this observation in itself does not prove a causal relationship between turmeric and the low incidence of AD. However, it did serve as a stimulus to probe for a possible connection that could be validated by scientists. This article summarizes the results of experiments examining the effects turmeric on the degenerative events to the brain that are associated with AD.
Turmeric is prepared from the root of the plant Curcuma longa. The characteristic dark yellow color is due to the presence of a group of related phenolic compounds known as curcuminoids, a major constituent of the plant. Studies in animals and in cell cultures are discovering that these compounds have profound biological effects, virtually all of which have positive health value. The effects include ulcer healing, cancer prevention, protection from free-radical oxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic and many more. Curcumin, which constitutes about 4% of turmeric, is currently being developed as a cancer chemo-preventive agent in India. This article, however, will explore this curcuminoid as a potential agent for preventing or improving the symptoms of AD.
What causes Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that results in loss of brain function. Early symptoms are forgetfulness and impaired awareness of the events of daily life. The disease is more common in the elderly and affects on average about 3.1% of Americans between 70-79 years, (vs. 0.7% in India). The percentage increases with age.
The precise cause of AD is presently unknown. However, a specific protein, amyloid-beta, is ubiquitous in the brains of AD patients and is believed to play a major pathological role. In AD patients, this protein is produced in excessive amounts that collect in deposits called amyloid plaque. (The word "amyloid" describes any protein fragment that combines to form starch-like structures deposited in tissues, and reacts with a stain called Congo red.)
These amyloid-beta proteins are produced from a larger protein (amyloid protein precursor, APP) which is present in normal healthy cells and, in fact, is important to the health of our nerve cells. APP is a good guy when whole and produced at normal levels. However, it can be the source of toxic amyloid-beta when either too much APP is produced, or when APP is processed abnormally, resulting in an excess of amyloid-beta due to mutations or abnormalities in specific processing enzymes. The toxicity appears to be related to the propensity of these amyloid-beta protein fragments to stick to one another, and to form progressively larger aggregated structures.
The initial structure formed by these sticky proteins is known as a soluble oligomer, which appears to be the most toxic. This is followed by formation of structures known as fibrils, which finally are transformed into larger structures, called amyloid-beta aggregates. The aggregates are insoluble, and thus fall out of solution to form deposits (plaque) on the cells' exterior. Recent evidence indicates the presence of these oligomers, fibrils and aggregates activates the production of free radicals as well as inflammatory cells. The free radicals attack nervous tissue constituents, releasing oxidized and damaged cellular constituents (such as fragments of membrane lipids) which, in turn, exacerbate the condition by amplifying the immune-inflammatory response. The net result is severe damage to important structures of the brain. The accumulated damage ultimately is expressed as clinical manifestations of AD.
Back to curcumin
Recent experimental information supports a role for curcumin in inhibiting the formation of amyloid-beta oligomers and fibrils, as well as potentially acting to remove amyloid plaque. These effects were observed in the test tube, in cell culture and in animals fed curcumin at non-toxic doses. Curcumin appears to disassemble amyloid-beta aggregates and prevents oligomer and fibril formation. It binds to amyloid-beta, and prevents the latter from binding to itself.
What is exciting about the potential for this compound as a successful agent to treat AD is the fact that it is well-tolerated even at oral doses between 4-8 g/day in humans. A dose equivalent in humans to just 1-2 grams/day has been demonstrated in animal studies to produce a serum concentration that is effective in inhibiting amyloid-beta accumulation in brain tissue. In addition, this dose was demonstrated to inhibit the production by brain cells of inflammatory mediators believed to be partly responsible for brain cell destruction initiated by amyloid-beta. Furthermore, curcumin is a highly effective antioxidant (more potent than vitamin E), capable of neutralizing oxidants that escape the cells' antioxidant defense system, thus protecting the delicate nervous tissue from oxidant-induced damage.
Prevention is the best way to maintain health
Because amyloid begins to accumulate years before symptoms are evident, the use of anti-amyloid agents would be most effective if used prior to the appearance of symptoms. The symptoms from this damage may not appear for years, and the damage is difficult to reverse.
To be effective in preventing, postponing or treating AD, a substance – whether a drug, a food ingredient or a dietary supplement – must meet three criteria. It must be bioavailable, which means it must be able to reach the area of interest, the brain, at an effective concentration after oral ingestion. Second, it must be non-toxic at a dose required to reach an effective concentration at the location of interest in the body. Curcumin satisfies these criteria.
The only missing piece to this story is the third criterion: evidence that curcumin is effective in treating AD in humans. This is currently under intense investigation, and the prospects are promising. The results should be available in the next few years.
Is it possible to obtain enough curcumin in my diet if I now begin to use the spice turmeric in my cooking?

Answers to other questions are available athttp://juvenon.com/product/qa.htm.
The evidence from India suggests that people who use turmeric in foods from an early age realize benefits from it. A middle-aged American may already have some buildup of amyloid plaque, and it's unknown how much curcumin would be needed to reduce it. Western recipes for dishes containing turmeric typically call for 1 or 2 teaspoons (5 to 10 grams) of turmeric per person. My personal belief is that dietary curcumin will help, but scientific proof is not yet available. A more convenient way to obtain this amount would be to purchase curcumin from vitamin stores in capsule form, and take one or two 500-1000mg capsules/day.

Ear and eye protection
Hi guys,
I am buying my first set of ear and eye protection to use at the range. Would do you guys use for eye protection, if I can't see well without my glasses on? And are there big difference between the 20 dollar ear protection, or the 100 dollars one?
I have polycarbonite lenses in my glasses which are sufficient for eye protection. And yes a $20 set of Silencio muffs works as well as any other standard, non-electronic set. If you are going to get the electronic ones, then the more expensive ones may well be a little lighter weight or have more sound channels.
I highly recommend something in the ESS ICE lineup. You get two glasses (one clear, one sunglasses) and you can order a prescription insert that you just pop in behind the glasses, the cool part is that the inserts are removable so say you manage to get LASIK or PRK done or get contacts you can just pull out the inserts and still be good to go.
It looks a little bit unusual the first couple times you see the clear glasses with the inserts, you do get kinda use to it though. I trusted my eyes to those glasses in Afghanistan and nearly every time I go to a range now.
As far as ear pro, I've found for most (most not all) the yellow foamies if properly inserted and what not do an outstanding job.
In the interest of full disclosure though I do also own a few pairs of the ear muffs and I'll throw those on over the yellow foamies if I'm gonna be shooting a while though.
i use these from gander mountain:
my glasses are prescription shooting glasses with interchangeable lenses. i have a set for shotgun that are red. yellow for rifle, and another yellow set for pistol that are ground with two different focal planes top half focuses long rang bottom half focus the sights.
1 Attachment(s)
I got my ear protection at the ear doctor. Kind of looks like these. They are pretty cool, they have different levels of protection that you can put in them. So I wear different ones when I'm playing with the band or shooting.
Don't forget the baseball cap when shooting anything semi-auto. One of our supporting members had a hot casing get caught between his glasses & his eyeball, resting on the eyeball, not good.
I don't wear glasses so I just bought some polycarbonate glasses from the gun shop. For my ears, I wear foam plugs with muffs over it.
My friend who wears glasses bought some different kind of glasses that fit over his prescription glasses...something like this...
Ambient - Lightweight Over-the-glass Eyewear - GEMPLER'S
FWIW, several of the companies that make industrial safety glasses make ones that fit OVER your regular glasses. Do a google search for OTS safety glasses (stands for "over the specs") I do not need corrective lenses (yet) and wear amber colored polycarbonate shooting glasses. For those with guest shooters, youngsters, or just on a tight budget, Harbor Freight carries a dang near disposable yellow lens safety classes. I wear EAR foam plugs under muffs.
I use these Caldwell E-MAX Hearing Protection Muffs and they work great. Low profile or foam is a plus because when you shoot a rifle big hearing protection can get in the way.
In the guard they have us wear both foamies and over the ear protection for shooting and around loud noises on the flight line. Maybe it's overkill, maybe it's not but I still have good hearing after years of being on the flight line around loud jets.
I just use a set of no-name polycarbonate glasses for range work. I used to use a pair of yellow foam ear plugs, but recently bought a set of these... I didn't believe the hype about their effectiveness when I first saw them but after doing some research I shelled out and bought them. They are great! You can hear normal conversation quite well, but louder noises and damaging frequencies are filtered out. No batteries, no bulkiness and comfortable :cool:

Just when Google decided to show off the latest features expected out of its Google Maps app for Android devices, Nokia is countering back by making available today the latest version of their popular free navigation app; Ovi Maps.
Needless to say that the best new feature out of this latest version is the ability to download street maps directly onto a device without the need of a computer. Essentially, there is an"Update" option in the main menu that will instantly allow you to download maps onto your handset – but still, Nokia suggests doing it over Wi-Fi as opposed to 3G connectivity. So even in the event you lose connection to the network, you can still count on your handset to provide directions to your destination since maps are stored locally.
Some of the new features include the ability to perform a long tap for the renaming and removing of collections and routes, the back button has been added in Favorites, refreshed place details information view, improved transit lines settings in the map, and a compass calibration hint.
Despite seeing a steady string of fierce competition from all sides, Nokia is doing what they can to keep ahead of the curve – more now than ever when navigation is being deeply intertwined with a myriad of mobile devices.

To get the "Maps" app, go to:http://betalabs.nokia.com/.
I tried the nre "Maps" and it worked splendidly. It has faster start-up and locking speed than the previous versions, with pinch to zoom function for Symbian ^3 devices, enabled compass mode, and the everything generally operates smoother and more user-friendly. A must have update on your Symbian device.

What our customers say?
I wanted a certification that separates me from my peers. Upon discovering CEDS, I was convinced this was exactly the type of distinction I had been seeking. Since achieving CEDS certification, I've noticed immediate recognition from my organization, colleagues, and current and prospective clients.They acknowledge they are more comfortable working with a person who has taken time to seek such certification. CEDS has certainly been worth the small investment and should continue to beget returns for years and years to come.

The United States had an unmanned Predator drone over its consulate in Benghazi during the attack that slaughtered four Americans — which should have led to a quicker military response, it was revealed yesterday.
"They stood, and they watched, and our people died," former CIA commander Gary Berntsen told CBS News.The network reported that the drone and other reconnaissance aircraft observed the final hours of the hours-long siege on Sept. 11 — obtaining information that should have spurred swift action.But as Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three colleagues were killed by terrorists armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, Defense Department officials were too slow to send in the troops, Berntsen said."They made zero adjustments in this. You find a way to make this happen," he fumed."There isn't a plan for every single engagement. Sometimes you have to be able to make adjustments."The Pentagon said it moved a team of special operators from Central Europe to Sigonella, Italy — about an hour flight from Libya — but gave no other details.Fighter jets and Specter AC-130 gunships — which could have been used to help disperse the bloodthirsty mob — were also stationed at three nearby bases, sources told the network. Source: Fox Nation
There was a female Democrat strategist on Fox with Eric Shawn saying Republicans in the House cut funding for Embassies and that's why we didn't have necessary protection. The fact is, Charlene Lamb, from State told Congressman Dana Rohrabacher in a House hearing, that funding had nothing to do with how security matters were decided in Libya. Lamb is responsible for receiving messages from the Consulate and our Embassies, then resolving what needed to be resolved, whether in conjunction with her superiors or by her own authority.
On a side note, on Geraldo Rivera (I know I hate mention him but...) last night, he interviewed former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty's sister. She emphatically said he WAS NOT in Libya to protect the Libyan Embassy or Consulate, and we know Doherty told ABC News he was in Libya to seek out and destroy weapons in the hands of dangerous people in that country. Hillary's early claim of "robust" security inside the Benghazi compound should not be forgotten or ignored.
Drones have kept our boots on the ground safer. They can both record an event and drop a bomb. We can't get rid of this Commander-in-Chief until January 20th, 2012, but we can add this frightening component to our defense arsenal now. I have complete faith in Mitt Romney, that he already knows who he will put in the State Department, (I'm hoping it's John Bolton) and that person must cleanse that viper pit completely.
