Acquired angioedema due to deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor, also called acquired angioedema and abbreviated C1INH-AAE, is a rare syndrome of recurrent episodes of angioedema, without urticaria, which is associated with B cell lymphoproliferative disorders in some patients [1]. Angioedema typically affects the skin or mucosal tissues of the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. The swelling is self-limited, although laryngeal involvement may cause fatal asphyxiation. Clinically, this disorder is very similar to hereditary angioedema, although acquired angioedema develops in older patients and is frequently associated with underlying disease, whereas the hereditary disorder presents in younger patients who are otherwise healthy [2].
This topic review will discuss the management and prognosis of C1INH-AAE. The clinical manifestations, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of this disorder are reviewed elsewhere. (See "Acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency: Clinical manifestations, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis".)
Hereditary angioedema, which is caused by mutations in the gene for C1INH, is discussed separately. (See "Hereditary angioedema: Pathogenesis and diagnosis" and "Hereditary angioedema: Epidemiology, clinical manifestations, exacerbating factors, and prognosis" and "Hereditary angioedema: Treatment of acute attacks" and "Hereditary angioedema: General care and long-term prophylaxis".)
The management of a patient with acquired angioedema involves several components [3]:
●Educating the patient about the potential triggers and early recognition of angioedema attacks and ensuring that the patient understands that there is a real risk of fatal asphyxiation with attacks involving the upper airway. (See 'Patient education about laryngeal edema' below and 'Avoidance of exacerbating factors' below.)To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription.

Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is hard to diagnose. It is common to have normal test results when you have CFS. Fatigue is an extremely common problem, and it can have many other causes. CFS can be diagnosed only by ruling out other conditions.
First, your doctor will ask you about past health and do a physical exam. Experts have come up with a specific list of symptoms to decide whether a person has CFS. Doctors use a variety of tests to rule out other conditions. These tests usually include:
- Complete blood count (CBC). This gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in your blood.
- Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). This test measures how quickly red blood cells (erythrocytes) settle in a test tube. This tells whether or not certain types of inflammation are present.
- Blood glucose level, used to check for diabetes.
- Thyroid-stimulating hormone test. It's used to find problems that affect the thyroid gland.
- Chemistry panel. This is a blood test that provides information about your general state of health.
- Urinalysis, a urine test that can provide information about your overall health and clues to many conditions.
These are routine lab tests. Other tests may be done if your symptoms, history, and physical exam suggest other possible problems. These other tests may include:
- ANA (antinuclear antibodies), to check for lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus).
- Rheumatoid factor, to check for rheumatoid arthritis.
- HIV test, to check for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
- Tests for Lyme disease, if you may have been exposed to ticks.
- Skin test, for tuberculosis.
- Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C tests.
Some doctors may order tests that check your immune system. These can be expensive and generally are done only in research settings. Also, it's hard to know what the findings of these tests mean. That's because so little is known about the immune system's connection to chronic fatigue syndrome.

Maryland Governor Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., a Baltimore County native, spent about 90 minutes at Pimlico Race Course late Thursday afternoon, shooting two television commercials to promote next month's Maryland Million. The 19th annual Maryland Million will be held at Pimlico on Oct. 9. "I have a personal history with a lot of interests within the industry and have been going to the track all my life," said Ehrlich. "But any governor of Maryland has to recognize and the people of Maryland have to recognize the importance of the horse industry to our state."
The 30-second spots will debut at Pimlico Saturday and on networks Sept. 27. It will feature the Republican mucking stalls, feeding a horse, parking cars, punching pari-mutuel tickets, selling programs, working the food counter and trying on jockey silks. "A sense of humor is important in life," added Ehrlich. "In many cases, particularly in politics, a sense of humor can help you deliver a particular message. This message is obviously come to the Maryland Million and have fun."The pioneering Maryland Million was introduced in 1986. It is a program of races for the offspring of Maryland-based stallions only and has been duplicated by 19 other Thoroughbred states. Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim McKay originally proposed the Maryland Million concept and remains chairman of the board.

Red Wings beat Bruins, 8-2
Some thoughts from the Bruins-Red Wings tonight at TD Garden:
Game over, 8-2 Not a lot of good stuff coming out of this game. It was sloppy at points, with some unimpressive play in the defensive zone. Don't think anyone will be winning a job based off of tonight's game.
But there was some nice work by the top line of Lucic-Krejci-Iginla, continuing the chemistry that they showed in Montreal on Monday. The special teams play, meanwhile, was lacking both on the PP and PK.
Nick Johnson and Iginla each nabbed their third goal of the preseason in this one, with Johnson's a backhand top-shelf beauty.
Malcolm Subban allowed eight goals, though not all of them were his fault. Still, a tough night for the 19 year old who will likely be spending the season in Providence.
2nd period over, 4-1 Red Wings: The Bruins got their first chance on the power play with Zdeno Chara in tonight in the second period. They didn't make much of it, but it was interesting to see Chara down low on both a 5-on-4 and a 5-on-3 for the B's.
Malcolm Subban has allowed four goals, but they weren't all his fault. There's been some sloppy defensive play in front of him that hasn't help. The fourth goal, by Danny DeKeyser, was a soft goal, though,
Jarome Iginla got yet another preseason goal, nabbing a full-strength redirect for his third in two games. Matt Bartkowski sent a nice pass in toward Iginla, who was in the goalmouth, with Iginla sending it past Jimmy Howard.
1st period over, 2-0 Red Wings: Gregory Campbell got a nice cheer from the crowd when he got on the ice for the first time since breaking his leg in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Penguins.
The Bruins allowed a power play goal to Justin Abdelkader at 5:01 of the first. Malcolm Subban made the initial stop on a shot by Abdelkader with a kick save, but allowed the Red Wing to put back his own rebound. Assists went to Jakub Kindl and Pavel Datsyuk. Dougie Hamilton had a bit of a defensive slip on the play. He's still in a battle with Matt Bartkowski and Torey Krug for playing time, but it seems that GM Peter Chiarelli wants Hamilton with the NHL club this season.
They allowed a second PP goal at 16:07, with David McIntyre knocking in a rebound. PP not so kind to the B's tonight.
There were a couple of nice chances on goal by the Bruins, one by the makeshift Merlot line (Thornton's out tonight) and one by the first line, which was so dynamic in the game in Montreal last week.

Get Your 'YMCA' Dance Ready, Village People Coming to Bossier City
Get ready to do your best "YMCA" dance, because dance music group Village People are headed to Margaritaville Casino in Bossier City.
The iconic group will perform Saturday, August 2, 2014, at the Paradise Theater. The show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $20 and go on sale Friday, June 27, at 10 a.m. You can get them through Ticketmaster or at the Margaritaville Retail Store.
Seeing this info from the casino reminds me of my high school days. When I was a senior at Parkway High School, several of my band friends (all females) and I performed a lip sync routine to the tune "YMCA." (I was the Indian.) Who doesn't remember that song and dance?
Here's the press release from Margaritaville casino sent us about the group if you really don't know who Village People are.
"Village People is a one of-a-kind act synonymous with dance music. These six men provide high-energy choreography with fun and lots of singing and dancing, providing great entertainment for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. They have sold more than 100 million recordings and are known for such hits as 'Macho Man', 'Can't Stop the Music', 'Go West', and of course 'YMCA'.
In 2013 Village People recorded 'Let's Go Back to the Dance Floor' which was written and produced by Harry Wayne Casey of KC and the Sunshine Band.
On September 12, 2008 Village People received a 'Star' on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The group has won many awards including an American Music Award – Favorite Music Group, AGVA's Georgie Award, West Germany's Gold Lion Award for Music Excellence and Brazil's Award for Best Act, to name just a few.
Village People are Raymond Simpson (Cop and lead singer), Felipe Rose (Native American), Alexander Briley (GI/Military), Eric Anzalone (Biker), Bill Whitefield (Construction Worker) and Jim Newman (Cowboy)."

CHINNOR have signed Northampton Saints Academy scrum half Lewis Hall on loan ahead of tomorrow's trip to Dings Crusaders in National 2 South.
Head coach Matt Goode used his contacts at Northampton, where he works, to bring Hall down to Kingsey Road.
"We may have him for the rest of the year, but we'll see how he fits into the club," said Goode.
"He will give us some different options."
Centre Sam Stoop could make his first appearance of the season after being added to the squad, but full back George Blewitt is out with ankle ligament damage.
Dings are notoriously tough to beat on home turf and Goode is expecting a tough battle.
"I have got a feeling it is going to be a similar game to the one against Bournemouth at the weekend, which was quite scrappy and abraisive," said Goode.
"They like to slow the ball down whereas we quite like an expansive game.
"We have put things in place to deal with that."
Henley Hawks' wing Jaryd Robinson is set for a long spell out after fracturing his tibia at Loughborough Students last week.
Xavier Andre replaces Robinson, who needs a second operation on his leg, in the side for tomorrow's home game against Esher in National 1.
Robinson tweeted: "Just been told op wasn't a success and have to go under the knife again on Monday. Rather have it done properly! #xmasRehab"
Better news for Hawks is the return of fly half James Comben, who was unavailable last week.
Comben's inclusion means Tom Allen reverts to outside centre and captain Martin Nutt to full back instead of Neil Baggett, who was also injured against Loughborough.
Prop Ruairi Mcleod, who has signed from Ealing Trailfinders, should make his debut off the bench, where Ed Yarnton, who can play at full back or fly half, also comes in.
The clubs' second teams, Henley Bulls and Esher Cardinals, also clash at Dry Leas in Zoo Sports Shield Division 1.
Henley Hawks (v Esher, home): Nutt (capt), O'Neill, Allen, Wells, Andre, Comben, Carter, Maddocks, Brennan, Penny, Woodward, McNally, R Sapley, Long, Dwyer. Reps: Steventon, McLeod, C Stapley, Allen, Yarnton.
Chinnor (v Dings Crusaders, away): from Hopwood, Marston, Goode, Barnes, Fielding, Millett, Jones, Titchard-Jones, Townsend, Whelan, Stock, Tibbatts, Smith, Betts, Hastings, Harrison, Gilbert (capt), Vickers, Angell, Stoop, Hall.
Henley Bulls (v Esher Cardinals, home): from Platt, Hayes, Higgins, McGregor, Murieson, Ashmore, Emmett, Bloxham, Bruce, Swadling, Lubbock, Perry, Antonui, Lillington, Carson, Strang, Middleton, Huggins, Lacey, Molloy, Haynes.

Dances of the Balkan countries (countries located on the Balkan peninsula, including Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Bosnia, the northern part of Greece, Bulagaria, etc.) share specific characteristics, though there are many local variations. They tend to be done in short lines, open circles, or closed circles. Traditionally men and women often danced in separate lines, or in separate parts of a long line (i.e. men at the front, women at the end of the line). Recreational folk dance groups tend to have everyone dancing together in mixed groups, though you still see separate lines in some dances.
Music is at the heart of the fascination dancers find in Balkan dances. In addition to the familiar 2/4, 3/4, and 4/4 rhythms, the Balkan countries also use many complex rhythms which are fun and challenging to dance to, such as 7/8, 7/16, 9/16, or even combinations of two different rhythms in the same dance.
The traditional instrumentation is simple but mesmerizing. Bulgarian and Macedonian dances are often performed to the accompaniment of the "gajda", a bagpipe found throughout the Balkans and the Middle East. (Indeed, bagpipes are found in many cultures, including the British Isles, Spain, and elsewhere). Wooden flutes and kaval, zurnas, various types of drums, and stringed intruments such as gudulka, are also common in the Balkan dances. Bouzouki has become popular throughout an ever wider area, and of course the modern accordion and clarinet, which allow use of multiple keys and span several octaves, are great favorites, often replacing earlier traditional instruments that were more limited in musical scope.
Balkan dance steps range from the very simple traditional village dances, usually based on a walking step, to very complex dances with fast, intricate steps. Many of the latter dances have been choreographed specifically for performance purposes, often by dance groups competing in local folklore festivals held in various parts of the Balkans. The energy level varies considerably, but the dances that really get us "hooked" on Balkan dancing are the fast, energetic dances with multiple steps. Line dance steps are traditionally called by the leader, or changed at the leader's whim, with the rest of the dancers picking up the step as quickly as possible when the leader changes.
The hand holds for Balkan dances include the simple "V" hold, in which you join hands with your neighbor, with hands held down at your side; and the "W" hold, in which hands are joined at about shoulder height, with elbows bent. Balkan dances may also use belt holds, front or back basket holds, shoulder holds, traditional couple dance formations, or no handholds at all.

Just one month ago, Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic two-way lineman, Daniel Hood was a first-year football player with tremendous upside and no offers. Now, Hood has five offers to his credit from some of the most prestigious programs in the Southeast.
The fifth offer came on Monday.
"I just got an offer from Florida State," Hood said. "I talked to coach Trickett. I talked to him for about 20 minutes and they offered today."
Article Continues Below
The talk with Coach Trickett made a strong impression on Hood as the offensive line coach made his pedigree and background very clear.
"He seemed like a great coach who knows what he's talking about," he said. "He said he's had I don't know how many first round draft picks so he knows what he's talking about."
The program itself is impressive to Hood as well. The 6-foot-5 255 pounder watched Florida State dominate the college football landscape as he was growing up and he has several friends with strong Florida State ties.
"I've got a bunch of friends here that are great fans so already off the bat I've told a few of them about it and they already said 'when are you gonna sign?' I was forced to watch Florida State a bunch of times in the National Championships when they were always ranked in the top 5. Their coach is really good too. He's built a legacy there at Florida State."
The offer has also opened up Hood's eyes to the continued rise of his stock.
"It's kind of hard to believe that two months ago when I was getting my highlight film made, I never would have thought that I'd be getting all of these calls from these coaches from different states."
With last year being his first year of organized football, Hood still has a tremendous amount of upside to his game, but the question is, 'at what position?'. Florida State has made it clear that it wants him as an offensive tackle.
"It's actually kind of weird because Tennessee and Auburn are both looking at me as a D-lineman," he said. "Ole Miss was talking tight end or defensive tackle. Louisville was looking offense or defense. Right now I'm open to playing anything. Of course if I'm a better offensive lineman I'll probably play, but if I can stay defense I would do that."
Due to his versatility, Hood also is not in a big hurry to bulk up to a massive size. At this point, his overall athleticism is more important to the two-way standout.
"I'm really not trying to gain weight," said the 255-pounder. "Of course when it comes, I'm not going to complain about it. I'd rather be a little bit slim and athletic than 290 pounds and moving a little slower."
Up next for Hood is a trip to Tuscaloosa for the Alabama Nike Football Training where he hopes to continue his rapid ascent up recruiting boards.
"I'm pretty excited about it," he said. "We start Spring Practice a little bit before that. I'll have to days of Spring Practice to get ready for it so I'll be going full speed."

Infineon suffers over comms and PCs
Post a comment
Infineon Technologies, Europe's second biggest chip maker, showed the impact of the slump in mobile comms, and falling demand for DRAM chips from the PC market as it reported second quarter results on Tuesday (24 April).
Growth in other business areas, including the company's Security and Chip Card, Wireline Communications, and Automotive and Industrial groups could not offset the drop in demand.
Revenues, standing at €1.65bn, were flat sequentially on Q1 while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) dropped by €243m to €10m. Net income was down by €257m to €23m.
The upside of the results was that Infineon avoided reporting the second quarter loss expected by some analysts.
Ulrich Schumacher, president and CEO said: "Despite a difficult market environment Infineon maintained strong margins in its non-DRAM businesses due to continued demand, further productivity gains and new high margin products in these segments.
"Our strategy to build on these businesses is showing positive results as they helped counterbalance the current weakness in the memory market."
Infineon has also just unveiled plans to go ahead with the full roll out of 300mm processes at its Dresden site, originally developed in conjunction with IBM.

A grandmother was alarmed to find a condom in a happy meal gift pack bought for her 7-year-old granddaughter at a McDonald's (MCD) restaurant in New Zealand, local media reported Thursday...I guess that's what they really meant by HAPPY Meal.
Grandpa Rowan Hutch told The Dominion Post newspaper it was lucky his wife was first to look inside the small sports bag that came with the meal.
She was aghast when she found the green condom and its packet inside the bag, he said. "I was pretty horrified really. The fact my granddaughter was going to look in the bag and find this thing. It would be difficult to explain, she's only seven," said Hutch.
(Thanks Mr Big)

I have it strung with Tec Razor Code 18 at 52 lbs (NOTE: This is too loose in this racquet) and I'm making it work for now.

'No more delay' in McVeigh execution
The United States Attorney-General John Ashcroft has ruled out any further postponement of the execution of Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh - already delayed until 11 June.
It was this omission that prompted the decision to call off next Wednesday's scheduled execution.
"The last thing I want to do is to distress people who have already endured a kind of pain that none of us can even understand, let alone would want to endure," Mr Ashcroft said.
One of McVeigh's lawyers, Robert Nigh, said the defence team were going through the documents but had received no instructions from McVeigh - who has admitted his guilt and, before this latest twist, had declined to appeal.
Mr Nigh said his client would consider his options based on the contents of the withheld papers.
No further delay
The people of Oklahoma City reacted with disappointment and anger to Mr Ashcroft's decision last Friday to postpone McVeigh's execution.
But in Sunday's interview with The Daily Oklahoman, the Attorney-General again sought to justify his decision.
"I just felt like there had to be a clarity in the mind of the American public that our responsibilities were carried out in advance of this final act to bring closure to this whole episode," he told the paper.
But Mr Ashcroft repeated that he did not believe the courts would order a re-trial.
"We are not of a mind that these documents are in any way exculpatory ... These documents are not going to create any basis - that I could in any way foresee - for a new trial".
Mr Ashcroft has ordered the Justice Department to investigate why the FBI failed to hand over the 3,135 documents, which include interview notes, photographs, written correspondence and tapes.

text: pizza123 107 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Hi, I'm trying to make a 2D physics engine, and for the hit detection I'm currently using SAT. Currently all objects are stationary and the collision detection is discrete, but I'm trying to implement a continuous collision detection. I did some research and found out there's "swept SAT", but from what I understand it can only predict the collision between moving objects that are not rotating (but can't predict the collision between two moving rotating objects). However, I also found out about Minkowski collision detection and that it can work for continuous collision detection for moving rotating objects, but I didn't really do much research into it because I already have SAT. I was wondering if there's a way to predict whether and when two moving rotating objects will collide with SAT, or if I should try to implement the Minkowski collision detection (also, how hard is it compared to SAT?). Thank you 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publishers' Thoughts
'We are reinventing, re-purposing, and restoring ourselves'
When Alena suggested the theme for April of "Restore, Reinvent and Repurpose" Richard's first reaction was to raise a question. First of all, he wasn't sure what she was talking about. Why start over? What's wrong with the way things are, he asked with his obvious male outlook. After about 45 minutes or so of a supposed diatribe between the two of them, he succumbed.
At the same time, Richard is always amazed when he encounters people who are resistant to change. He has always viewed life as a constant growing experience involving change by it's very nature. He has viewed it as an incredibly positive thing to continually meet different cultures, peoples, and ways of life. Life involves periodically, reinventing oneself, growing into a new and different version. The need to reinvent oneself only ceases when personal growth and development stop. On the other hand, when we take in new knowledge and implement it we are changed. When you have new experiences and learn from them, it changes us. So long as we continue to grow, we will need to reinvent.
Richard can't count the number of times he has reinvented himself. The latest was the move to Santa Fe and no longer wearing three-button suits with vests, so he is now wearing jeans every day. Fifty years of ties! No more. Alena has made the ties into a skirt and vest. He loves it. As a result life has been an amazing, at times stressful, but mostly a very exciting adventure. Every time we add a new dimension to our lives we gain knowledge, insight and experience. A richness of wisdom comes from such an experience. We can only understand it if we embrace change.
Alena isn't as sure. As a woman perhaps, she is not used to living on the "edge" at times as change overtakes her, although she continually tries to learn. Friends of years are far away. It probably is harder for a woman to turn the aging process into a positive experience rather than a fearful one. On the other hand, why not continue to improve mentally, emotionally and physically into your later years? The important thing we try to do in this new issue for April 2013 is to create a new vision of midlife and beyond and express the hope that we are willing to do whatever we can to fulfill that vision.
Our photo this month is in the New Mexico State Capitol. What an outstanding building. Richard enjoys visiting time and again after having visited notable structures around the world. None compare to New Mexico's capitol in Santa Fe. The collection of art in the capitol is stunning. It is of New Mexico, but one of the most striking is "Buffalo" by Holly Hughes. It is very large and is made up of re-used products of all kinds, re-invented by Hughes to create a spectacular buffalo hung on the wall of the third floor. "Buffalo" consists of old newspapers, nails, paint brushes, belts, rags, metal shavings, light bulbs, plastic spoons and so forth. Looking at this sculpture, one can certainly see the experience and wisdom gained by this "creature" who has obviously "been around" and has now been "re-invented."
(Photos by Lorissa J. Longfellow)
It is very significant to recognize that today, 62% of the people who reside in Santa Fe are over 50 years old. The percentage of people older than 50 for all of New Mexico is 46%. We want to help lead the way for these New Mexicans to discard typical attitudes about aging and instead to reinvent, repurpose and restore themselves to vigorously pursue their dreams and a very purposeful, fulfilling life.
Yes, life today is different. This is a positive. We may not have all the perks of seniority in a business setting. No longer are youngsters running under foot, paying for college is behind us and we no longer have to commute long distances. Modern technology lets us accomplish a tremendous amount of constructive work around the world from our own home. This is a real breakthrough. We are reinventing, re-purposing, and restoring ourselves.
Enjoy April. Spring is about here!

mcberko (1084) Vancouver, British Columbia | April 2, 2013
Reasonable tap selection and some interesting bottles that I'm not sure how they get in (Bell's - no distro in WA). Food is okay, a bit overpriced and the service is decent. Wouldn't really recommend it with Noble Fir and Urban Family close by.
after4ever (322) Mukilteo, Washington | August 12, 2012
You have now left the pacific northwest. Please return your seat to the full upright position. This place makes no bones about wanting to be your full-service Minnesota culinary depot. They actually seem to celebrate all things upper midwest/great lakes, with NFC North football posters from every team, cheese curds, chicago dogs, Michigan beer, and every junky combination of tater tots and other artery-clogging comfort food you can imagine. You walk in and it's a celebration of every cool old lighted and motorized beer sign you can imagine from our latitude--Rainier, Oly, Hamm's, Leinenkugel, Old Style. From Puget Sound to Lake Erie, they have tons of cool electric beer signage from the 60s and 70s. The old-school decor extends to the beveled wainscoting, the Farrah Fawcett poster over the urinal in the men's, the Burt Reynolds Playgirl centerfold in the women's (two girls in our group proudly displayed their iPhone photos of Burt upon returning to the booth). The service is super friendly and funny and right on top of it in every way--really nice and easy-going staff. They know the menu, they know how to orchestrate substitutions, they know the beers. They're on it. The menu is a showcase for how cardiologists get multiple summer homes. Deep-fried cheese curds, chili cheese tots, poutine, sloppy joe dogs, mac and cheese, mac and cheese PIZZA, a couple dozen other pizzas, including breakfast pizzas. And, yes, they serve breakfast, too. The pizzas are awesome, tons of flavor, thoughtfully prepared, great crackery thin crust. The crowd here is friendly and fun. Last night, it featured the world's loudest Seahawk fan. Every big play, good or bad, she made some kind of noise that made me think somebody either broke in and tripped the burglar alarm or the tea was ready. And this was just pre-season. And that's what I like about Zayda Buddy's. You don't have to wait for the regular season. This place goes all the way to the wall with starch and grease and beer 365 days a year.
britbeer (1) Washington | October 29, 2011
I have to give the place 100%. The beer selection is just too cool, and where else can I go for my fix of Wisconsin cheese curds. A taste of home when I can't afford a Plane ticket.
cblado (5) Washington | July 19, 2011
A real "Midwestern-style" bar! Wood paneling, old beer cans on the shelves, and mounted trout on the walls. Reminds me of every Wisconsin relative's basement I've ever been in. I go here to watch the Packers games during football season. Just a little taste of home...
concretebeer (1) Washington | June 7, 2009
The best pizza available in the Northwest; Minnesota style pizza. They also have Midwest imported beers including Grain Belt Premium!

10, 9, 8, 7,… How many times did we see that repeated on the news last night? Once an hour, as each time zone of the planet welcomed the New Year, the moment was preceded by this countdown. It's fascinating. The attention of everyone is riveted, the time is filled with anticipation, and all are united in the common waiting for the arrival of a moment in time.
Consider this, and hear again these words from Paul's letter to the Galatians: "When the fullness of time had come..." St. Paul is announcing the happening in time of a long-awaited event, something for which all of human history had been counting down not just for seconds but for centuries. "When the fullness of time had come…" When God determined that the moment was right, he fulfilled that longing, that expectation: God sent his Son, born of a woman.
Last night when the awaited moment finally arrived there were great displays of fireworks, sometimes wonderful orchestral music, and then? The displays lasted only minutes before turning to smoke that was quickly blown away. Music eventually died out. Then, a rush to beat the crowds, to get into the cars and get home. In other words, a return to the ordinary, but unchanged by the experience.
The announcement to shepherds of the birth of Jesus was accompanied by a kind of heavenly fireworks, if you will, the angelic visitation and songs of the heavenly hosts, yet how different was their response! Today's Gospel tells us they went running to see for themselves. They spent time in the presence of the newborn Christ. Only then did they return to their fields. Yes, they went back to the ordinary, but they themselves were changed. They returned, we are told, glorifying and praising God.
"God sent his Son, born of a woman." Such an astounding proclamation is arresting, to say the least! It rivets the attention. After all, it is saying that God has become human, one of us! What can that mean? The example of the shepherds encourages us to hurry to understand the meaning, while Mary, who pondered all that was said about her Son, teaches us to linger over it, to think deeply about it, until we get what this is all about. If we do this, and allow God to show us what this all means, then our ordinary will never be ordinary again.
"In the fullness of time, God sent his Son born of a woman." To ponder this is to see in the birth of Jesus the true meaning of time. At the New Year we mark the passing of time. Yet time is not just a succession of seconds, moments and hours. With the birth of Jesus, time becomes the earthly 'space' inhabited by the eternal God! Time is history, yes, but God makes it salvation history, the succession of events in which God is at work to save his people from sin. In time God meets us, loves us, forgives us, transforms us, and draws us to himself so that we might live with him forever. St. Paul says it best: God sent his Son to redeem us and adopt us as his children. If we ponder this, if by grace we get what this is all about, then life, and the time in which life unfolds, will never be the same for us.
"God sent his Son, born of a woman." Over the centuries the Church has indeed pondered this with the grace of the Holy Spirit. As the Church reflected upon the great mysteries revealed by Jesus, she has turned her gaze also to the woman who gave birth to him, the woman we know from the Gospels to be Mary of Nazareth.
From the beginning Christians accepted Mary as the Church's greatest treasure. She was the mother of our Lord and the perfect disciple. Yet there is more, so much more, to say about her. Since Jesus is both God and man, divine and human, the Church realized that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is also rightly called Mother of God! It is under that title that the Church honors her today. The more we linger with that mystery and ponder it, the more we realize that she is our mother, too. From the Cross Jesus said to the disciple John, and through him to the world, "Behold your mother." The Church is the mystical body of Christ on earth, so she who is mother of Christ and mother of God is also mother of the Church, our mother. This is why Christians do not hesitate to go to her in prayer. She watches over us with ineffable maternal affection, she protects us with the help of her prayers, and she teaches us how to follow her Son.
On this New Year's Day we are conscious of one lesson in particular we need to learn from Mary. Today is the World Day of Peace. Longing for peace unites humanity more deeply than a countdown to fireworks. This is a deep longing in every human heart, especially in the face of the atrocities and brutalities that we have witnessed in the past year. It has united humanity across the centuries, as we heard in the ancient prayer, from the Book of Numbers, that God lift up his countenance upon us and give us peace. Mary teaches us that peace can be attained by the simple yet challenging word "yes."
She said "yes" to God's plan as revealed by the Angel Gabriel. She said "yes" at the Cross as that plan reached agonizing fulfillment in the death of her Son. From early on she taught others to say yes, when for example at Cana she told the stewards: "Do whatever her tells you." This is what she says to us, too, who long for peace: Do whatever Jesus tells you to do. Of the many commandments Jesus has given us, one in particular is now coming to the fore: "Be merciful, as your Father is merciful."
2016 is declared by Pope Francis as the Jubilee of Mercy. Mary teaches us that the path to peace is to say yes to mercy. When families say yes to mercy, when communities say yes to mercy, when nations say yes to mercy; and, therefore, say no to bitterness, hatred and violence; when we say yes to our need for God's grace to make us merciful, then we will know real peace.
Last night we shared in a countdown to a new year. By the Spirit of Jesus, who is God born in time of Mary, and with the help of the prayers of the Mother of God, may that countdown be to a year of true and lasting peace.

" Brand: Hed Kandi / Type: Body Spray / Suitable for: Body "
One of my main loves and one of the things I just love to buy are body sprays. I am a hygiene freak and (I do smoke!) and I like to be able to feel and smell as fresh as possible at all times! So when I saw this in Boots at the bargain price of 50p instead of the usual price in the store of £1.59 (though I have seen it in quite a few pound shops recently) I had no choice but to buy it!
The Packaging.....
Bright, shimmery long cylinder can with an integrated push button spray and a piece of plastic that twists slightly to protect the sprayer from shooting out to the top of it! In orange and silver writing on the front I'm told it is Hedkandi (65 NU Cool) Body Fragrance and says 'Warning: Contents may increase risk of exposure to high levels of excitement' there is a little orange scribble of people on the top of the can and on the bottom the size is stated which is 75ml/2.5 FL.OZ. On the back of the can I'm told a bit about the product, instructions for use are given, cautions are listed, ingredients are given, contact details for Hedkandi are given, the recycle symbol as is the flammable symbol are displayed, size is again given and finally there is bar-code displayed. Nice, funky looking can this really is.
A Bit About The product According To The Back Of The Can....
Sassy sun accord notes balanced with exotic green fruits and vanilla, rounded off with patchouli; lay back and feel the groove!
Instructions For Use...
Twist top to unlock. Shake can well before use. Hold 15-20cm from body and spray generously. Don't leave home without it.
Me Using It.....
I absolutely love the sexy, sassy and unusual scent of this body fragrance! It's flipping amazing to my nostrils!
Easy to use, this is. It sprays out Cooley and quite fast leaving no residue on the skin so you can dress straight away. I was boiling today when I used it and it really did cool me down in an instant!
The smell is like a gentle waft of natural fruit such as crisp, green apples and then under that there is a lovely scent of soft vanilla and the patchouli gives it a slight musky undertone. It's a very, young and uplifting fragrance and once on the skin I find fragrance wise it stays fragrant for a good couple of hours at the most.
I'd like it to last a bit longer in the fragrance stakes but when sprayed onto my skin it's just so delicious that I really don't mind having to respray it. It feels fresh and light on the skin and is very mood enhancing and I simply love it and will definitely repurchase this body fragrance over and over again and even wear it as a perfume if we get hot weather this summer! Lovely, crisp and bright, simply a must have for any woman of any age!

Frito Lay flags up natural snacks reformulation plans
The snack food maker said that, by the end of 2011, more than six dozen varieties of Frito-Lay products will be made with all natural ingredients including all the flavors of Lay's potato chips, Tostitos tortilla chips, and SunChips multigrain snacks.
The snacks, said Frito Lay, will not contain any artificial flavours or artificial preservatives, nor ingredients such as monosodium glutamate (MSG).
According to Mintel's Global New Product Database, approximately 14 per cent of the new food and drink product launches in the US last year were marketed on a an all 'natural' label claim.
Ann Mukherjee, svp and chief marketing officer, Frito-Lay said that: "As the snack food category leader, we have insights that show consumers are seeking a wider range of products made with all natural ingredients.. we want to provide our customers with a broad portfolio of snack options that taste great and are made with real food ingredients."
However, consumers on the lookout for eco-friendly claims are skeptical about the term 'natural', and two-thirds would favor a uniform standard to certify natural claims, according to a recent survey.
The poll, from natural and organic marketing firm Mango Sprouts Marketing, asked 1,000 natural product consumers about their organic shopping habits in an effort to get an idea of upcoming trends for the sector in 2011.
Currently, although manufacturers of organic foods and beverages must adhere to strict standards in order to be allowed to use the term, the Food and Drug Administration has declined to define the word 'natural'.
Nevertheless, its use on food packaging is rapidly increasing as consumers are seeking products that are free from artificial additives.
The market research found that one in three consumers surveyed (34 per cent) were 'not very' or 'not at all' confident in natural labeling, while two in three (65 per cent) said they would like to see the term certified, for both processes and ingredients.
Another 25 per cent of those surveyed said they were 'somewhat interested' in natural certification.

Luke Hochevar's first exhibition start for the independent league Fort Worth Cats was impressive, as the former Tennessee righthander flashed plus stuff in three innings of work.
In front of a large number of scouts, Hochevar touched 97 mph with his fastball, throwing a number of 95 mph fastballs and also showing an above-average breaking ball.
"He had a real good downhill plane," said a scout who watched his first start. "He threw fastballs right by guys at the knees. These are 27-year-old guys who have been around. They are more apt to put the balls in play than someone at Vanderbilt."
The righthander struggled in his first inning of work, but settled down over the second and third innings. He allowed two runs on three hits, walking four and striking out four.
Hochevar will have five more starts before the June draft, but his first appearance went a long way to establishing as one of the best pitchers in this year's draft class. Nearly 30 scouts were in attendance for his first appearance of the year.
"You can't afford not to see him. He ranks up there with the Millers, Lincecums, Lincolns and Morrows," the scout said. "He threw with more flat out stuff than he did at this time last year."
There's still a question of whether Hochevar will even be in this year's draft. The Dodgers took him in the supplemental first round (40th overall) last year, and retain his rights until May 31. The Dodgers almost signed him last fall, when over one weekend, Hochevar dropped Scott Boras as his agent and his new agent Matt Sosnick worked out a deal for $2.98 million with the Dodgers. But Hochevar changed his mind and rehired Boras as his agent, turning down the deal.
Hochevar is scheduled to make his first regular season start for the Cats on Saturday. If he doesn't reach a deal with the Dodgers, he is scheduled to take a regular turn in the Cats rotation until June 4, two days before this year's draft.

Senior quarterback James Lark threw six touchdown passes, five to receiver Cody Hoffman, as the BYU Cougars trounced the New Mexico State Aggies 50-14 in Las Cruces, N.M.43 comments on this story
Lark, starting for the first time in his career in place of Riley Nelson, completed 34-of-50 passes for 384 yards. Hoffman, who played with a separated shoulder last week at San Jose State, caught 12 passes for 182 yards. Hoffman also passed the 1,000-yard mark for the season.
New Mexico State (1-11, 0-6 WAC) jumped out to a surprising 7-0 lead after BYU's opening drive stalled and ended in a missed field goal. But the Cougars (7-5) controlled the game in the second half with Lark leading the way. He completed passes to eight different BYU receivers.
The Cougars will play in the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego on Dec. 20.

The black tea base has a good strength that stands up well to the addition of milk (this one is definitely better as a latte!) Smooth and rich, this has a really nice flavor to it.

Is 'Kill la Kill' a warning about wearable tech? PBS Idea Channel investigates
Although I've never watched Kill la Kill, I've certainly heard about the popular anime series set in a dystopian school where students don sentient Goku Uniforms that give them superhuman abilities. But now, after watching fast-talking PBS Idea Channel host Mike Rugnetta wade into the anime while wrestling with its fascist themes and possibles warnings about wearable technology, I kind of want to seek it out. (And not for the fan service, I swear.)
This is probably a good place to note that UDON Entertainment announced last month at Comic-Con International that it will publish the Kill la Kill manga next year.

Blogger or non-blogger, conservative or leftist, I strongly urge you to watch this video of a panel discussion from the Wisconsin Blog Summit with WTMJ's Charlie Sykes, Fighting Bob's Ed Garvey, Brian Fraley and State Representative Mark Pocan.
I promise it was as entertaining as it was informative. And not just because Charlie Sykes plugs my blog.

MURRIETA —— Five meet records fell Saturday at the Nighthawk Swim Invitational, and the host team excelled in its depth to win both team titles in convincing fashion.
After a full day of swimming both prelims and finals, Murrieta Valley's girls stood at top of the team standings with 296 points to Arroyo Grande's 287.
Elsinore took third with 168, Ridgecrest Burroughs grabbed fourth (141), and Temescal Canyon (94) was fifth out of seven schools. The Nighthawks boys squad dominated with 394 points to Arroyo Grande's 218.
Burroughs was third (180), Elsinore placed fourth (158), and Temescal Canyon was fifth (70).
"It's hard with such a big team to see everybody swim," Murrieta Valley coach Genevieve Barrow said. "But the good thing about invitationals is that you are not necessarily going for the score, you're going for the swims, and I think that really helped us to see where the kids are."
Barrow was speaking of her trio of male breastroke swimmers —— Eric Starkweather, Cody Wilson, and Frankie Gotte, who took first, second and fourth in the most competitive race of the day.
The top four all finished within 78 hundredths of a second of each other, and Wilson got the win with a strong kick in the final 25 yards, passing both Arroyo Grande's Graeme Baldwin and teammate Starkweather, to touch the wall first.
Wilson broke his own meet record of 1:04.03, which was set in 2004, with a quick early season time of 1:02.96. Starkweather was just behind at 1:03.16 and is the school record holder in the event, with a 1:00.31 personal best. Baldwin finished third, and Gotte was fourth in 1:03.74.
On the girls side, Elsinore's Krisman sisters, Tanya and Ashley, stole the show, winning two events apiece and leading the Tigers to two relay wins. Ashley Krisman won both the 200-yard freestyle (in 2:02.58) and the 500 freestyle in 5:29.45.
Only a freshman, Tanya Krisman made her mark on the invite's record book, setting two meet records in the 100 butterfly and the 200 individual medley.
Her time of 57.69 in the fly bettered Yucaipa's Kimie Cook's mark of 59.60 by nearly two seconds, and it also would have taken third place in the boys' 100 butterfly event. In the 200 IM, the younger Krisman beat out another of Cook's records (2:10.53) by swimming a 2:09.47, a time that also would have placed her third in the boys race of that same distance.
"The girls go out everyday and swim their best," Elsinore coach Rachelle Sentak said. "And I think they surprised some people."
Both Krismans and Sultana's Jenny Lewis went home with the individual high point awards, scoring the maximum of 32 points for their teams. Murrieta's Michael Flanagan and Justin Koeppen, along with Nuview Bridge's Wil Whaley won that honor for the boys.
Flanagan took home first in both the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly and Koeppen won the 50 and 100 freestyle events.

Years ago a Homing Pigeon landed in my neighbors yard. She brought him in the house and gave him food and water ... he stayed about two weeks then she put him out and he left. We always wondered if he made it home. So I can relate to your story and love your pictures.

Fugitive used false passport to enter AustraliaDan Oakes
Published: January 12 2013 - 3:00AM
A FUGITIVE associate of the world's most infamous arms trafficker arrested in Melbourne this week apparently entered Australia on a false passport.
The Department of Immigration said on Friday it was likely Richard Chichakli - who was arrested after applying to become a protective services officer - entered the country under an assumed identity.
''The department is working with the Australian Federal Police to assess the situation and determine what action can be taken against the person arrested if the allegations of identity fraud are proven to be correct,'' a department spokesman said. ''As the case is ongoing, it would be inappropriate for the department to go into further detail.''
Fairfax Media revealed the 53-year-old accountant and close friend of ''merchant of death'' Viktor Bout had been seized by state and federal police and would be extradited to the United States after spending almost eight years on the run.
US officials allege Chichakli helped Bout - portrayed in fictional form by Nicolas Cage in the movie Lord of War - buy planes illegally in the US.
In February 2010, the US announced Bout and Chichakli were wanted for money laundering, wire fraud and conspiracy over their alleged links to former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, who was sentenced last year to 50 years' jail for war crimes.
Chichakli, a US citizen, has been on the run since April 2005, when the FBI and Treasury Department raided his home near Dallas, Texas. It was rumoured he went to Syria then Moscow.
Under American law, it is illegal for associates of Taylor to do business in the US. Bout, allegedly with Chichakli's help, spent years selling arms to Taylor.

Setting Goals to Focus Your Research
Setting realistic research goals or objectives for a trip to a repository such as the FamilySearch Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, involves more than just looking at your data file and picking a person to research. The preparation involves an assessment of the types of information you need and matching those needs with the records that may be available at the Family History Library. For example, it is disappointing and inefficient to choose to investigate military records only to find out that the records you need are in the National Archives and not in the Family History Library.
First Step: Examine your data to see what is needed
It is tempting to choose to investigate ancestors based on "holes" or missing ancestors in a pedigree chart or fan chart and automatically assuming that a lack of information identifying that ancestor is something you want and can research during your trip to the Family History Library. But, choosing to do this violates the very first rule of genealogical research: search from the known to the unknown and look at recent generations before earlier generations. I have found that nearly all efforts to find an unknown ancestor (missing ancestor in the pedigree) are unsuccessful unless there is adequate research about the generations of that ancestor's descendants who are closer in time.
Always look for the families that would be the easiest to research first. You will eventually get to the more difficult questions, but since you time in the research facility is limited you will want to gather those sources that are likely and possibly found and not spend your entire time looking for records or sources that you do not find within the time you have to do your research. Don't skip back to a remote ancestor, assuming that you know when and where the person was born or lived. By skipping a generation or more, you have no assurance that the person you are researching is the correct one and related to you.
Look at the amount of information and documentation with source references that you have for a family and then work from that point. You may wonder why you have to document your own parents, but there is always a possibility that you do not know the entire story.
Second Step: Work on one family at a time
Be sure to work on an entire family group at one time. Not only is this more efficient, but it also is more likely to produce valuable information. This is especially true when you have reached an ancestor with an extremely common name. In this case, you have to rely on other family members who have less common names or on the entire pattern of names in the family. Relationships in the family group can provide valuable clues to the identity of more remote family members. Looking at the family in context, as a family, helps to reveal inconsistencies in our data and to add correlative and corroborative information. Sometimes, you can only establish parentage by identifying all of the children in the family. It may also be useful to research clusters of families that lived near to each other before moving on to the next generation. If you are interested in identifying a more remote ancestor, then start with a family that already has adequate documentation and work backward, documenting every step of the way.
Third Step: Stay focused on one event at a time until you find at least one source
Once you have selected a family to research, you can more easily choose which of the individuals you will research. You can skip around among the family members or even very close relatives, but if you start to jump between families and especially between generations you may find yourself lost and forget your original research objectives. Documents that are more easily obtained will lead to clues for finding other more difficult documents.
As you accumulate information about a specific family, then compare all the events on all family group records. Notice which events have the most documentation and any that have little or no documentation. You may wish to check on your already cited sources to verify your own records and make sure they were recorded correctly. Of course, if you are relying on information you did not research, you may wish to be more particular about checking the sources. Then one event in a person's life at a time, add additional sources to any poorly sourced event. You should be able to identify the particular person and the event in his or her life you want to research for additional sources.
Fourth Step: Set a goal to obtain complete genealogical information for the selected ancestral family and each family member
Having complete information fully identifies any individual and identifies him or her in the correct family. It is common for children to be out of order, identified with the wrong mother or father, especially when there has been more than one marriage, and listed with dates that do not fit in the family structure.
Fifth Step: Review your progress
As you go through this process, you may get fatigued looking for one single family. Depending on the time you plan to spend in the repository, it is a good idea to have a backup of two or more families to use for additional research goals.
Good luck with your next research trip!

'Let's hope his new club throws him a welcoming party or he won't be happy!' – Fans react to Yaya Toure's Manchester City exit
Yaya Toure will 'definitely' leave Manchester City in the summer, according to his agent Dimitri Seluk.
The Ivorian will have one year remaining on his £220,000-a-week contract at the end of the summer but his agent has said he will not see it out after receiving 'various offers'.
His next move is undecided with Inter Milan thought to be the frontrunners, but Seluk said the only certainty is that Toure will be leaving the Etihad ahead of Pep Guardiola's arrival.
However, many fans on social media are skeptical given some of the claims Toure's agent has made regarding his client's future in the past.
See below for the best Twitter reaction to the news!

I made this quilt for my great nephew. The pattern was in the August 2009 Quilter's World magazine. The original pattern was for a twin size, which I cut down to about 45" square. For some reason, my camera didn't want to cooperate, and the closeups of the quilting were pretty blury. Wish I checked before I gave the gift. :)
I had extra squares from the front, so I pieced them to enlarge the backing. I quilted wavy, watery looking swirls in most of it and diagonal lines with loops in the center of the small squares. It's the first quilt I've made exclusively from my stash...not a single new piece! I was so proud of myself I shopped a bit to replenish some ;)
It went together very quickly. I think the layout of the pattern would look good with just about any kind of applique. Next time I need a girly quilt, I'll see what I can do with this.
