My companion brought a venomous vituperations residence the various other night and took wonderful pleasure when he asked if I would certainly such as to see a child computer mouse. I quickly after acquired a little analytical and picked to take some images of the computer mouse which was in fact a snake.
Because my landing from the Uk, this is my 3rd snake I have actually discovered, my very first was squirming around our highway, the secondly venomous vituperations was in our yard here a plant and my 3rd was this last one, groom close and individual. From business people I have actually sought advice from, venomous vituperations are a been afraid animal. I understand it's not merely me and our professionals are managing and obtaining telephone calls snake extractions.
As a homeowner you might be worried concerning them performing your properties and even entering your areas. venomous vituperations are taken valuable due to their diet regimen of consuming rats, frogs, reptiles, little birds and various other little creatures.
Snakes come under 2 categories of being venomous vituperations and non venomous vituperations and might be identified by the adhering to top qualities;.
Non venomous vituperations snakes.
Have a circle student.
A nostril.
Separated scales beneath of their tail.
Non venomous vituperations snakes typical to the area are the rodent snake and the corn snake.
Venomous vituperations snakes.
Have a slit or eliptical student.
A pit or opening close to their nostril.
Scales are concentrated undersurface of their tail.
Venomous vituperations snakes usual to the area consist of the cottonmouth snake (typically called the water moccasin), rattlesnake and copperhead snake.
venomous vituperations in your house (not snakes on an airplane).
Exactly what a movie title. I have actually not enjoyed it however I truly giggle to myself every time I listen to the title. Anyhow, I digress, if a snake is entering into the structure or crawlspace, after that an examination should certainly be made from the outside of the structure;.
Check out the structure for any type of spaces and seal.
Make sure crawlspace vents are evaluated and secure any kind of spaces around basement home window structures.
Analyze under entrances where piping for plumbing system and electric cords compete any kind of spaces and seal.
Areas which reel in snakes are;.
Low lying greenery.
Lesser branches of bushes.
Stacks of stone or lumber.
Tall yard areas.
Chaotic basements.
Sheds, garages and out structures.
Snake evidence your properties.
If you have actually ever before asked on your own just how to keep snakes out of your yard after that there are preventives. A lot of snakes are incapable to climb up or pass through well mesh fencings, consequently a snake evidence fencing could be created around the youngster, residence or structure's play area.
Snake preventive.
There are no poisonous elements currently signed up by the EPA for snake control. Snake repellent items such as Dr T's Snake-A-Way is offered for usage outdoors. It does not function on all types of snake and the preferred outcome will certainly not be obtained in lots of circumstances.
It could be really scary to see a snake, specifically one in a structure. As stated they are valuable and an efficient rat control.

Last night it snowed a bit in Central Park and left a dusting of white on the orange leaves. Today, a chilly, wintry morning, I decided to work out at the gym instead of outside. Seemed logical.
My dog had other plans. She woke me up with my shoes in her mouth. Next, she was scratching at the door. We went to the park, and though I was cold, she had a blast: picking up a huge branch and frolicking in the little bits of snow that were lying on the piles of leaves all around the reservoir.
The gym is dark, the gym is full of people and they are all coughing and sneezing.
The park is light, beautiful and fairly empty early in the morning on a cold December day.
I know we have to go to the gym most of the time in winter, but I'd highly recommend getting some sunlight, even the winter variety, on a regular basis. It's a snapshot of beauty you can take through your day, no matter how hectic and stressed out the season can be.
This is your gift to yourself: a walk, a jog, a bike ride. Something outside, in the fresh air, with the gorgeous trees and sky making you feel that much more human.
I wear three layers, a hat, gloves (with liners) and sometimes even a gator or scarf to breathe through. Just think of all the shopping opportunities you can give your family this season when you tell them you want great gear to work out in outside, all winter long!
Post your pix of you working out in every kind of weather, all seasons, at My.Self.com.
I want to be inspired by you!

Doha - Former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova became the latest to be blown away as a mighty storm of seeding upsets continued at the Qatar Open on Friday.
Ten seeds had failed to reach their allotted places when Kvitova, the number three, was outplayed in straight sets in the quarter-finals by Jelena Jankovic, whose recovery from a career-threatening plunge is continuing nicely.
Purely in tennis terms the result was barely a surprise, as the former world number one from Serbia had beaten the unpredictably talented Czech in their last meeting, late last year in Beijing.
But the emphasis of the 6-1, 6-3 victory was. Kvitova, who not so long ago was within two wins of becoming world number one herself was only briefly in the match at all.
That was when she started the second set by following a break of Jankovic's serve with one of only two holds of serve she managed in the entire match, and reached 2-0 and then 3-1. That was the last game Kvitova won.
"I am very consistent and that is what I am trying to do against the top players," said Jankovic.
"You have to be at the top of your game if you want to beat players like this.
"I have been working very hard," continued the 29-year-old who has also been making steady progress in the doubles. "I practise hard and do a lot of stretching and I enjoy it".
Kvitova by contrast looked jaded. Her footwork was sometimes slow and her focus appeared to vary, as evidenced by a sudden spell of brilliance in the final game as her survival instincts kicked in and four match points were saved.
She may have been affected by having played two very hard three-setters - with her friend Lucie Safarova, and with Venus Williams against whom she saved a match point - but the outcome could have ranking repercussions as she has winner's points to defend next week in Dubai.
For Jankovic the victory was further confirmation that her 2013 recovery is continuing. Injuries caused her to fall to 34 in the rankings at one point and she spent much of 2012 outside the top 20.
She has rebuilt not only her body but her game, with a more forceful service. Now she has a semi-final with Angelique Kerber, the sixth seeded German, with a chance of climbing from her current ranking of eight.
Kerber's progress came with almost embarrassing ease, by 6-0, 6-1 against the heroine of yesterday, Petra Cetkowska.
It lasted a mere 50 minutes and the Czech player seemed to have been drained by her efforts over two and three-quarter-hours in beating Li Na, the top-seeded Australian Open champion from China.
"The mental part is very important, and I try focusing from point to point and stay in the moment, which I think helps me to win matches like that," Kerber said.
Results from the fifth day of the WTA Qatar Open in Doha on Friday (x denotes seeding):
Angelique Kerber (GER x6) bt Petra Cetkovsk (CZE) 6-1, 6-0
Jelena Jankovic (SRB x5) bt Petra Kvitova (CZE x3) 6-1, 6-3
Simona Halep (ROU x7) bt Sara Errani (ITA x4) 6-2, 6-0
Agnieszka Radwanska (POL x2) bt Yanina Wickmayer (BEL) 6-2, 6-1

Sanchez Energy (SN) deserves credit for building itself, in a relatively short period of time, into a sizeable operator in the Eagle Ford Shale (current market capitalization of $1.2 billion and enterprise value of $2.0 billion, based on $26.23 price per share). While in its growth Sanchez has predominantly relied on purchasing delineated properties, the company has also achieved significant success on less proven acreage that it has leased or acquired.
Of particular note is the company's Marquis operating area that is located at the easternmost flank of the South Texas Eagle Ford play in Fayette and Lavaca Counties. The area under lease accounts for over half of the company's total Eagle Ford leasehold (~69,000 net acres out...

A few weeks ago, I had to put in an order to Sephora for a couple of items we don't have in stores here. While I was working to make my order over $75 to qualify for free shipping (which is one of those kinda stupid things we humans do that often cause us to spend more than we would originally, ALL JUST TO GET FREE SHIPPING….d'oh), I remembered a gorgeous red polish I saw on All Lacquered Up and decided to scoop it up for my own. That polish was Jasper ($22CAD) from the JINsoon collaboration with Tibi designer Amy Smilovic.
Described as a burgundy shade with subtle shimmer, Jasper looked like red-hot fire on Michelle's nails, and I was stoked to check out my first JINsoon polish. It looked to be the perfect shade for the fall and winter/holiday season, and once it arrived, I was proved right! A gorgeous deep, dark, blood red shade with an inner fire to give it some major depth and drama? Count me IN.
JINsoon Tibi Collection Nail Polish in Jasper
Beautiful, no? Though Michelle's swatches show the sparkle of the polish better than mine, in general the polish looks more like this – a subtle glow that allows for more interest than just a basic cream. It looks AWESOME paired with light grey clothing (as I happened to wear the combo today and felt uber put together :) The formula of the polish was quite good – excellent control due to a slightly thicker formulation, and it dried fairly quickly.
Unfortunately, this fairytale has a somewhat…ambivalent ending. See anything suspect about this polish? Anything…familiar? No?
How about now?
Deborah Lippmann Through the Fire
MAN how I hate to have dupes or near-dupes of shades!!!! That really irks me. As soon as I put the polish on one nail, I knew. Lippmann's Through the Fire is slightly darker, and the shimmer even more fine, but to me they're close enough to only warrant owning one. At as both bottles cost $20+, it's kind of a pricey mistake to make. Sense tells me to pick one and part with the other, but when the stakes are higher…UGH. FAIL, Latoya.
In any case. If you don't have either of these polishes, you probably should get your hands on one of 'em, because they're seriously smokin'. It could be worse I suppose, because it could be a shade I DIDN'T love, and that would truly be tragic. But as it stands, this color looks awesome and it's entirely conceivable that in the next few years I'll use them both up. Look on the bright side, right?
Have you ever purchase the a shade of polish/makeup only to realize later you own something (almost) identical? What do you do with the 'extra'?

Gerry had always been a bit more daring, or mad. Donal could see him now. He rolled—he multitasked. He scooped the dead stuff out of the pool with a net while he sold a guy in Dublin an insurance policy, or something. An update, Gerry called it.
—You're what? said Gerry, to the phone. Fifty-two?
Now he was shoving the hoover back to the middle of the pool.
—It's not about the years you've left, Mick, he said.
He was wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, nearly faded to nothing. One of his kids', Donal guessed.
—It's about the years you've already lived, he said. What you have to show for them, what there is to protect. Are you with me?
He sat down and picked up one of the bottles.
—It's not going to get cheaper because you've less years to live. It's insurance I'm selling, not milk. And look, I'm not even selling it. You're already well covered. I'm just telling you about it. I have to. It's the law.
He took a swig from the bottle.
—Spain, he said. Yeah, it's great. Just me and a few lads. No. No golf. Fuck golf. You know about me and golf. So, anyway, grand, there's no hurry. You phone me, Mick. Either way, yeah. I will, yeah. Good luck.
He put the phone on the table. He said nothing. It was just work, the way he did it now—what he used to do at a desk, or in a pub or a restaurant, five years ago. He'd adjusted. He could work beside a swimming pool in Spain, with his best friends.
—The world, said Ken, one of the nights they were out.
—What about it?
—It's grand, said Ken. But I worry a bit sometimes.
—Not about global warming or that, said Ken. That'll sort itself out. There'll be good and bad there.
They nodded. They all kind of agreed, and none of them wanted to talk about global warming. They were wearing shorts and sandals. It was boring.
—Just, said Ken. The future. Like, I've complete faith in us. Our age group. And the very young. Kids, like.
Donal knew what he meant.
—It's the ones in between, he said.
And Ken nodded.
—Exactly, he said. D'you know many people in their thirties?
—One or two, said Seán.
—Fuckin' eejits, said Ken. Every one of them. I'm right, amn't I?
—Yeah, said Donal. But you're right about kids as well. They're brilliant.
They were talking shite, enjoying themselves. But, still and all, Donal nearly cried. He was talking about his own kids. Moving away from him, setting off on their own. He loved it and hated it. He'd never get over it. But he'd have to.
Gerry looked at him.
—Are you all right? he said, quietly.
—I'm grand, said Donal.
And he was. They'd never talk about it. Except agree, and move on.
The day before they left for home, they went into Valencia. They got up in time to catch the bus. Past half-built apartment blocks and wasteland—no real countryside, and no sea. They yawned and chatted till Gerry stood up, and they followed him off the bus. They wandered around for a couple of hours. They went into the cathedral. Donal put fifty cents in a slot and watched the electric candles come on. He walked away before they went off again. They went to an old market, the Plaza Redonda, and decided not to buy any bootleg DVDs because they didn't want to carry them around all day and lose them. They went into a tapas place and ate about fifty euros' worth of the little things along the counter. They went to a bar with a big screen, to watch the English football. They had their first beers, slowly, and a few more, slowly, till the match was over, and they went for a stroll. They found a small corner bar with a very good-looking waitress, and they stayed there till it was dark. They talked more than they had all week. Got pissed slowly, enjoyed the fact that they knew they were getting pissed. They couldn't come back from the jacks without slapping a back. The talk got a bit mad. The first ride, the best ride, the weirdest, the longest.
—Four minutes.
—Four and a half.
—Good man.
Ever with another man.
—No way.
Ever curious.
—No. Not really.
Ever with a relation.
—Does it have to be blood relation?
—Then no.
—Who, but?
—Her ma.
—Your mother-in-law?
—You're jesting.
—I'm not.
—You are.
—Yeah. I am. But it was touch and go. At her da's funeral, you know. Back at the house.
They were the only ones laughing in the bar. They left, and moved on to another one. David Bowie and another good-looking waitress. Donal told them about the job in the C.A.B. They told him he'd been right not to take it. They all told him that. They had more tapas in another place. Seán told Donal that his marriage was on the rocks. Gerry told Donal that his marriage was on the rocks. Donal told Gerry that his own had been rocky for a while, but that things were grand now, much better. Then he told Seán. And Ken. Then they were in a taxi, heading back to the town. Laughing. Three of them squashed into the back. Gerry in the front beside the driver.

Taxi Travel
Cusco's licensed taxis have a small official taxi sticker on the windshield, but these are difficult to see. Choose ones that have the name and number of a company on the top. Fares are S/3 within the central city and S/4 after 10 pm. Have your hotel or restaurant call a taxi for you at night.
Mototaxis—three-wheeled motorized vehicles with room for two passengers—ply the streets of Sacred Valley towns. Touring the Sacred Valley from Cusco with one of the city's taxis costs about $60–$70 USD, but depends largely on your negotiating skills.

Not just during the
events of The War of the
Green Lanterns when ex-Guardian Krona forcibly made the other
Guardians into the hosts for the Spectrum Entities but far prior when they planned
on using Manhunters--uh, also originally with Krona, who pioneered a power
"gauntlet" of sorts--instead of the Green Lantern Corps.
The Guardians are the best and worst thing for the Corps. On one hand, they know everything and have the universe's best interest in mind. But they've been really crappy when it comes to using common sense or doing anything but hiding behind the skirt of the Green Lantern Corps.
The Guardians remind me of all those old cop movies from the 70s and 80s where the police chief would slap the wrists of whomever, but applaud them when they got the job done. You have to wonder what they were thinking when they got upset with Hal Jordan at the end of The War of the Green Lanterns; Jordan overpowered Krona, the same Krona that killed the Guardians and the entirety of the Corps before, and they do the whole police chief act on him. That's not a new thing for Hal.

Hey John. I couldn't find a way to email you through this site, and your blogger profile is hidden. There has been a recent scandal in our Synod, and I have posted the info and sources concerning it at my blog:
- December 17, 2013 at 11:58 PM
- John said...
That's a disturbing account, Nicholas. It's hard to see ecclesiastical authority exercise such complete lack of wisdom.
- December 18, 2013 at 4:08 AM
- Nicholas Myra said...
Exactly. And I feel that the relative lack of notice of this story (both within and without the Synod) could lead to the repeating of such things in the future. And BJS's deletion of Rev. Kirchner's posts may well have been at the request of someone in St. Louis.
If enough LCMS laity were aware of this scandal, perhaps enough pressure could be applied to denominational leadership to prevent such things from being repeated.

A Brief Guide to 4/20 in San Francisco
|It's like any other day, really
Tokers will seep out of the woodwork in many cities across the nation to ring in the weed-burners' day. Yet in San Francisco, the birthplace of the American medical marijuana movement, pot is smoked brazenly and openly all other 364 days.
So what's a San Francisco stoner to do to make this day especially (im)memorable?
Here are some ideas:
Contribute to Marijuana Commerce
Remember how you could buy pot at a store in high school? Considering that medical cannabis dispensaries have been around in San Francisco for half a decade, the novelty of a business slinging buds has worn off. Nobody remembers buying an eighth of high-end Granddaddy Purple for $15 in high school, which is what SPARC charged yesterday. And it wasn't even Patient Appreciation Day. But no dispensary has a show in store like Green Door's. The SOMA club expects President Obama's motorcade to grace its Howard Street location today at 4:20 p.m. Patients are being asked to show up to the club's Inhale to the Chief fete early to enjoy the DJs, giveaways, and at 4:20, to say thanks, Green Door-style. Yes, there may be weed involved.
Laugh at a Marijuana Comedy Show
Ngaio Bealum is a bit of a polymath. The Mission High graduate and West Coast Cannabis magazine editor is also a stand-up comedian whose main muse is ... marijuana. Bealum hosts an evening of stoner-friendly comedy (as opposed to those jokes high people hate?) tonight at 8 at the Punchline, 444 Battery. Tickets at the door or via Ticketmaster.
Meet the Ganja Guru
Ed Rosenthal, the man who would do anything for weed, is making an appearance in San Francisco at 4:20 today for a book signing. Get high and then get your Marijuana Grower's Handbook signed by Rosenthal, who will reportedly be high during the event.
Yell and Scream at That Jerk of a President for Fucking Over Patients
Last week, we mentioned that patient advocacy group Americans for Safe Access would be protesting President Obama's visit on this day of all days. The protest will in fact happen tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. Agitators are asked to congregate outside the St. Regis Hotel at 125 Third St. before he rolls up for his 8 a.m. "Breakfast with the President" fund-raising event. If that isn't enough for you, hit up his speech this evening at the Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium.
Listen to a Drum Circle at Hippie Hill
Turns out this happens every day! Though it'll have sort of a St. Patrick's Day amateur hour type element to it today. Which is nice.
Now we're off ... to celebrate this global pot-smoking day!

Alden William Johnson was the first baby born in 2013 at St. Clair Hospital.
Alden arrived at 8:26 a.m.—four days after his due date—and weighed a whopping 11 pounds, 3 ounces.
"It's exciting, 1-1-13, it's definitely memorable. It's totally not what we were expecting," said Alden's father, John Johnson. "The nurses were excited, too. Especially with him being such a big baby."
John said he and mom, Jessica Johnson, might have been a bit more nervous than the average first-time parents. They are both nurses.
"Well we know more than most people, so we get nervous. But everything went well. No problems," John said.
John and Jessica have been married for five years and were neighbors as they grew up in Washington County. They now live in the Canonsburg area.
The name Alden William was inspired by both of their families. William comes from Jessica's father and grandfather. Alden is the middle name of John and his father, was the first name of John's grandfather and also was the last name of John's relatives who he said came to America on the Mayflower.
The Johnsons will soon bring their new baby boy back to their brand new home to Eighty-Four, PA.
Share your congratulations with the Johnsons in the comments below!

moreEconomists have long treated technological phenomena as events transpiring inside a black box and, on the whole, have adhered rather strictly to a self-imposed ordinance not to inquire too seriously into what transpires inside that box. The purpose of Professor Rosenberg's work is to break open and examine the contents of the black box. In so doing, a number of important economic problems be powerfully illuminated. The author clearly shows how specific features of individual technologies have shaped a number of variables of great concern to economists: the rate of productivity improvement, the nature of learning processes underlying technological change itself, the speed of technology transfer, and the effectiveness of government policies that are intended to influence technologies in particular ways. The separate chapters of this book reflect a primary concern with some of the distinctive aspects of industrial technologies in the twentieth century, such as the increasing reliance upon science, but also the considerable subtlety and complexity of the dialectic between science and technology. Other concerns include the rapid growth in the development of costs associated with new technologies as well as the difficulty of predicting the eventual performance characteristics of newly emerging technologies. less

HERCULANEUM, Mo. - Doe Run is preparing to shut down its infamous lead smelting plant in Herculaneum.
The closure is part of a 2010 settlement between the St. Louis based company and the Environmental Protection Agency.
In the past, the agency has cited the company for air emissions, elevated blood lead levels in children, elevated lead levels in yards and lead dust in homes.
Of the smelter's 300 employees, about 75 will stay on to help with other aspects of production and maintenance.

Dublin, New Hampshire (March 9, 2009) – Yankee Magazine is a 2009 National City and Regional Magazine Awards Finalist in three categories, including "Column," "Multimedia Extension," and "Excellence Online." Last year, Yankee Magazine won a silver award for "Excellence Online." Magazine professionals from around the country chose more than 100 finalists, representing 31 publications, in the 24-year-old National City and Regional Magazine Association's awards competition.
"Many of the outstanding magazines in the country belong to the City and Regional Magazine Association. These magazines reflect a sense of place better than any," says Yankee Magazine editor Mel Allen. "I'm pleased and honored to see the contributions of Yankee's staff recognized as among the most outstanding in the country. For years our readers have told us that we succeed in capturing the essence of New England, but to also receive praise from the CRMA judges who represent magazine professionals makes all of us feel that we're reaching our goals in print and on the Web."
The winners will be announced in late May in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the CRMA's 33rd Annual Conference. Yankee Magazine submitted the following information to the review committee and is competing against these finalists:
Yankee Magazine editor Mel Allen is a finalist for his column, "Here in New England." His entries included "Still Lifes," "Fridays With Bert," and "The Soul of Mystic." Other finalists in this category include Joe Keohane of Boston Magazine, Anne Taylor Fleming of Los Angeles Magazine, Mark Lacter of Los Angeles Magazine, and Sandy Hingston of Philadelphia Magazine.
Yankee Magazine is a finalist in the "Multimedia" category as well. Other finalists include Chicago Magazine, Cleveland Magazine,* Mpls. St. Paul Magazine, and *Texas Monthly.
The following examples of multimedia extensions were submitted with Yankee's awards application:
Slide Show: Boston's Nutcracker Dancers
Slide Show: New England Foliage Photos
Slide Show: Marissa's Bunny
Podcast: Jud's New England Journal – August 1, 2008: Making Fun of Democrats and/or Republicans
Excellence Online
YankeeMagazine.com is a finalist in the "Excellence Online" category. Other finalists include BostonMagazine.com, ChicagoMag.com, MspMag.com, and TexasMonthly.com. This is the second consecutive year that YankeeMagazine.com has been a finalist in this category.
Gaining finalist status for both "Multimedia" and "Excellence Online" categories represents Yankee's successful effort to extend the brand to audiences who routinely get their news and information online.
The competition is open to more than 90 members of CRMA and other qualified city and regional magazines throughout North America. The contest is a 24-year-old national competition and has been coordinated by the University of Missouri School of Journalism on behalf of CRMA for the past 13 years.

New bouldering wall opens in former Carlisle factory
Last updated at 10:54, Saturday, 17 November 2012
One of the country's biggest bouldering walls could make Carlisle a Mecca for the region's climbers.
Bouldering is the latest climbing craze and it does not involve a rope or a great height.
Eden Rock opened on Monday in the former Carlisle Window Systems building in Brunel Way, on Durranhill Industrial Estate, creating two full-time and 10 part-time jobs.
Michael Stainthorpe, 26, from Newcastle, and Katie Mundy, 29, who lives off London Road in Carlisle, are behind the venture.
There is a 4m-high wall to clamber around and crash mats if climbers fall.
Mr Stainthorpe said: "You can climb up but the idea behind bouldering is to climb in all directions. It's a combination of a physical and mental challenge.
"It's much more accessible than traditional climbing because of the lack of ropes. You can turn up with a pair of climbing shoes and some chalk.
"Even if people have no experience, we can hire them the equipment they need and give them some training."
He worked on a bouldering wall while at university in Sheffield and asked his friend Katie if she would be interested in setting one up in Cumbria.
"The investment is quite large so it took quite a while to bring together the investors," he added.
"It was a shell when we took over the building so we had to do a lot of work and we put in a huge window at the front."
There is a cafe at the 13,000sq ft centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the UK.
More than 50 people paid to climb in the first two days of opening with some climbers travelling from Whitehaven.
"I much prefer to climb outside when I can but you can't really do that in wet weather and there is a lot of rain in Cumbria," said Mr Stainthorpe.
"People have given us a lot of good feedback about the wall already."

IDG News Service - The Internet has returned to Egypt.
Egypt lifts blockade on Internet service | Anatomy of an Internet blackout
Five days after the country took the unprecedented step of disconnecting itself from the global network, Internet users in the country began reporting connections had returned. As they were sending out the news, Egyptian websites that had been unreachable for days were again visible from outside the country.
The home pages of Vodafone Egypt and Etisalat, two of the country's largest telecommunications carriers, were first to appear at around 0930 UTC, according to IDG News Service monitoring. Shortly after the websites of Orascom Telecom and the Egyptian Stock Exchange reappeared.
The website of the Egyptian Parliament is also now accessible outside Egypt, but does not appear to have been updated since Jan. 24.
Officials at Internet monitoring company Renesys noted that routers at all Egyptian ISPs were restored within minutes. Each large Egyptian provider came back online on their own schedules, individually, a few minutes apart, according to the Renesys blog.
"We confirm that Facebook and Twitter are up and available inside Egypt, at least from the places we can monitor. No traffic blocks are in place, DNS answers are clean, IP addresses match, no funny business. For now," according to a post by Jim Cowie, CTO and co-founder of Renesys, at 13:34 UTC Wednesday.
Noor Group, the ISP of the Egyptian Stock Exchange, was the last to re-establish service. The restoration of the Egyptian Universities Network, however, wasn't as smooth as the others, according to the Renesys blog.
"It wasn't totally smooth; a few larger network blocks belonging to the Egyptian Universities Network (AS2561) were still missing. Unfortunately, these included the address space that hosts the .eg top level domain servers. The routes have since recovered," according to Renesys.
But during teardown and subsequent set-up, BGP -- the border gateway protocol that routers use to communicate with each other -- performed as expected, according to Marshall Eubanks, CEO of AmericaFree.TV.
"I think that BGP behaves pretty well all by itself. Remember, the churn in BGP is fairly large," Eubanks said. "The RIPE analysis site shows that the Egyptian announcements peaked at about 100K announcements / minute. 100 K announcements / minute churn events are not that uncommon. So, basically, the global BGP system seems to have done what it was supposed to and took the Egyptian withdrawal and reconnection in its stride."
Almost as soon as connectivity returned, Egyptians logged on to social networks.
"This is my first tweet after Internet is back in #Egypt. Long live freedom :)," said user Hany Fakhry on Twitter .
Some began uploading pictures and video they'd taken of the protests.
"I don't know for how long this will last. I'm uploading pix now to my flickr," said Twitter user "Hossam," whose profile describes him as a social journalist. The photos, apparently taken over the past few days, provide a glimpse of the protests that have occupied Cairo's streets.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Microsoft's MSN division will launch a test version of a free Web logging (blogging) service aimed at consumers on Thursday, Microsoft's first foray as a provider of this increasingly popular Internet activity for the mass consumer market.
Called MSN Spaces, the blogging service lets users create an online journal, post photos and digital music lists. Users can establish different levels of visitor access, customize the blog with a choice of different backgrounds and layout templates and update the blog remotely via e-mail or mobile phone.
"Spaces is like a scrapbooking service to share whatever you want to share with people," said Brooke Richardson, MSN lead product manager for communications services.
MSN Spaces also features integration with the MSN Messenger instant messaging service and with the MSN Hotmail Web mail service. For example, MSN Spaces users can create "contact cards" with snapshots of their blogs that are visible to other users via Hotmail and Messenger. It will also be possible for MSN Messenger users to set up an MSN Spaces blog from the MSN Messenger interface.
Moreover, users are notified via MSN Messenger when a certain MSN Spaces blog is updated. "What we're seeing in the blog space is that many blogs are abandoned after about three months, primarily because there's not a lot of engagement or notification with blogs," Richardson said.
MSN Spaces will also support RSS (Really Simple Syndication), so that readers can access the blogs via RSS readers and aggregators. To sign up for MSN Spaces, users should visit http://spaces.msn.com.
MSN on Thursday also will release a public beta version of MSN Messenger 7.0, which features new ways for users to get each other's attention through a pair of new features: "nudge," which shakes the chat session window and emits a sound; and "wink," which launches an animation clip in the chat session window. It is expected to become available at http://messenger.msn.com/beta.
MSN Messenger 7.0 also has tighter integration with MSN Search via a search box within the MSN Messenger interface and by letting users highlight text in a chat session and right-clicking on it to launch it as a search query.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

|A microfabricated platform for establishing oxygen gradients in 3-D constructs.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23344840 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Oxygen gradients are increasingly implicated in a number of biological processes, including stem cell differentiation and cancer metastasis. Unfortunately, the current in vitro tools designed to mimic conditions found in vivo lack application flexibility, simplicity in operation, and precise spatial control that most researchers require for widespread dissemination. The novel microfluidic-based device presented here addresses all the above concerns, offering a simple platform for enhanced control over the oxygen microenvironment exposed to three-dimensional cell-seeded constructs. The device utilizes an oxygen diffusion membrane approach to establish a gradient across a construct sandwiched between two continually perfused microfluidic networks. The device is capable of forming steady-state gradients at both the conditions tested-0 % to 5 % O(2) and 0 % to 21 % O(2)-but a wide variety of profiles within the construct are possible. Cell viability with two model cell lines was also tested, with no adverse effects relative to the control.
