John Watt
August 2009
John Watt, a PhD student working with Dr Richard Tilley in School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, won the MacDiarmid Young Scientist of the Year and the Prime Minister's MacDiarmid Emerging Scientist Prize for 2009.
"The prizes have given me great exposure and I look forward to staying on in New Zealand to continue my work" John says.
The Young Scientist competition is run annually and is open to postgraduates undertaking research and involves candidates presenting their work to various audiences, including a high school audience and a panel of five judges. There were 120 entries in 2009.
"My research is focussed on the size and shape control of nanoparticles - we make them in solution using chemical techniques. On the nanoscale, the shape of the particle becomes really important in determining the properties of the material. With silicon for example, just by changing their shape, nanoparticles change from bright blue to bright yellow – right across the colour spectrum."
John was born and educated in Napier and studied at Massey University before working in Melbourne for two years. He was drawn back to Wellington for the lifestyle and by an interest in Richard Tilley's nanotechnology research.
"Dr Tilley has been brilliant and a true mentor in terms of what I've learned not only about nanoparticle research but also about the 'business of science' and how to develop a career in science. I was very pleased to see him recognised with the Easterfield Medal this year too."
"The School of Chemical and Physical Sciences is very strong. There's some world leading work being done here by some top researchers. The research environment is very supportive and we've got excellent instrumentation available. We're definitely leading the way in solution phase synthesis of nano-particles globally."
"There are a lot of commercial applications for our research. I'm working on palladium, which is used in car catalytic converters, so my work is directly applicable to that industry. Nanoparticles are also being developed for use as MRI contrast agents and attached to paint particles and used as solar cells for houses. The applications for nanoparticles are immense."

Perfect for Sweaters and Boots!
by Tucker R
I got a pair of these a few weeks ago, and they're perfect for fall, and they look amazing with a slick oxford, a cardigan, and some fall boots like wingtips or chukkas. As long as you pair with brown-appropriate accessories and tops, they will look amazing! Personally, I find that burgundy leather belts and shoes are a perfect offset to this deep brown to help them pair well with dark navy's and brighter colors up top.

Moultrie- Moody Air Force Base has teamed up with the city of Moultrie to better train Air Force pilots. The base will use Spence Field as an auxiliary airfield. "It's going to be a winning situation for the city of Moultrie, Moody Air Force Base, and the whole South Georgia region," said Lt. Col. James Beamon.
That means more in-depth training and better pilots for the U.S. Air Force. "It will give us more air space, more landings, practice, and in turn, more skilled pilots," said Beamon.
And Spence Field will see the benefits too. The Air Force will make $705,00.00 in structural improvements to the airfield. "There's numerous cracks in the runway that will be repaired, they're going to put in a new tower, and fire shelter," said Wayne Cooper, Moultrie City Councilman.
Cooper says Moultrie's economy should also see a boom. "The fire station they're going to put in will need employees, so that will give our citizens a new work force and bring more money into the city," said Cooper.
Spence Field is known for hosting the Sunbelt Agricultural Expo each year, but city officials say the training won't effect such events. The only noticeable changes will be positive.

The power of celebrity may have won again as the Florida state attorney's office has decided to drop charges against Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig.
The powerful phenom was charged with reckless driving for going 110mph in a 70mph zone in late December and could be seen on camera crying. The arresting officer wasn't buying the somber remorse, lecturing Puig for driving so fast with his Mother in the car but the state attorney office simply wasn't interested in pursuing charges, citing insufficient evidence.
The state attorney's office has dropped a reckless driving charge filed against the Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder arrested in December while driving 110 mph on Alligator Alley.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested Yasiel Puig, who was allegedly speeding in a 70 mph zone near mile marker 99 in Collier County. He was traveling in a 2013 white Mercedes.
Puig was taken to Collier County Jail on a misdemeanor willful and wanton reckless driving charge, but the state attorney's office has ruled there is insufficient evidence in the case.
The reason for the lack of evidence is under Florida law, to prove a driver was being reckless, they need to be able to confirm a driver having a disregard for the road. Puig was 'only' deemed to be speeding, though he will need to pay a hefty fine for his actions.

Pushing the Limits of Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry to Investigate Large Protein Complexes
Many protein functions depend heavily upon the structure of the proteins and protein complexes. The use of traditional methods (NMR, crystallography, cryo-EM) for protein structure determination is problematic for macromolecular complexes because of signal broadening (NMR) and there are many difficulties obtaining high resolution images (crystallography, cryo-EM), especially for asymmetric assemblies. Recently, mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) studies have suggested that macromolecules in the gas-phase retain elements of solution-phase structure. An emerging area is the study of large biological assemblies (hundred of kDa) in the gas phase. Robinson, Heck, and others have employed mobility separations coupled with MS to characterize large protein complexes, such as the GroEL chaperone complex and the tryptophan RNA binding protein (TRAP) complex. This unique approach does not require crystallization, can determine mass, and is not limited by the heterogeneity of sample. This allows for more biologically relevant measurements, as most cellular conditions are not conducive to crystallization.
One limitation in the study of large protein complexes utilizing IMS-MS is the determination of accurate collision cross sections. We have utilized IMS-MS, using a high resolution home built instrument with a 3 meter drift tube, to determine accurate collision cross sections for a number of protein complexes, including bovine serum albumin, Saccharomyces cerevisiae alcohol dehydrogenase, and rabbit muscle pyruvate kinase. These protein complexes are some of the largest complexes that have been successfully measured with a conventional drift tube to obtain accurate collisional cross sections. This approach provides unique information about the assembly of protein subunits into an active complex, and allows for the study of these complexes under biologically relevant conditions.

"Birds of a Feather Flock Together" The Impact of Choice of Spouse on Family Labor Income Inequality
AbstractThis paper discusses the effects of the substantial rise in labor force participation of married women on the level, structure and trend in family labor income inequality. An interesting question is to what extent the rise in women's labor force participation has led to a tendency of "flocking together", i.e. whether women with high labor income are married to men with high labor income, or vice versa. Based on the decomposition of the Gini coefficient and a related index for the extent of "flocking together" applied to income data for Norway for the period 1973-1997 we find a tendency of "flocking together" for couples with at least one labor income and couples with two labor incomes. For couples with only one labor income (i.e. couples where only one labor income is above the threshold given by the statistical definition of labor income) the decomposition of the Gini coefficient indicates that there is no tendency of "flocking together". For this group women's labor income gives an equalizing contribution to family labor income inequality. This illustrates the importance of distinguishing between one- and two-income families in analysis of family labor income inequality.

Anglers 12 years old and younger cast their lines for a chance to win a new fishing pole and tackle box in the free tournament, sponsored by the Arnold-Imperial Optimist Club.
See a full photo gallery from the tournament on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ArnoldPatch
"The derby is going good. When you look around you see kids having fun and smiling," said Carl Dowdy, president of the Arnold-Imperial Optimist Club.
Alex Prater, 7, of Imperial; Trevor Gibson, 8, of Barnhart; and Daden Kane, 9, of Barnhart, said they were having a great time fishing together. "We haven't had any bites yet though," Kane said.
Forty fish were caught in total, with the longest fish measuring 26 inches. Awards for longest fish were given in three different age brackets.
Age 1-5 winners:
- First Place - Joey Koenig
- Second Place - Mason Turner
- Third Place - Skylar Haas
Age 6-9 winners:
- First Place - Daniel Deane
- Second Place - Briahana Hart
- Third Place - Charles Ploesser
Age 10-12 winners:
- First Place - Andrew Crayen
- Second Place - Kailey Summers
- Third Place - Tim Summers
A prize fishing pole was also given to D'Anna Smith, 9, of Hillsboro, for catching the smallest fish of the day, at 8 1/2 inches.
"The best part of the day was catching the fish," said Smith, who enjoyed her prize.

Super Soakers and Black History Month
Do your kids like peanut butter and super soakers? Thank historic Black Americans.
Kimberly Seals Allers: It's Black History Month -- a special time to teach our kids about all the contributions African-Americans have made to society. And if you thought there weren't many kid-friendly Black history facts, think again. Momlogic and MochaManual.com teamed up to bring you these great Black history facts for every kid.
10 Fun Facts about Black History to Teach Your Kids
1: Peanut Butter
Love peanut butter? Peanut butter was invented by a Black man, George Washington Carver (1864-1943), who discovered 400 uses for peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, and pecans. In the process, he transformed lunchtime sandwiches forever.
2: The Real McCoy: Summertime Fun in the Sprinkler
The next time you're running through the sprinkler, remember that it was invented by Elijah McCoy (1843-1929). Ever heard the expression "the real McCoy"? It comes from another invention by McCoy that allowed trains and other machines to be lubricated while running. When many imitations showed up, people insisted on the real McCoy.
3: Stoplight Trivia
The next time you're waiting at a red light, tell the kiddies it was invented by Garrett Morgan (1877-1963). Morgan's other invention, the gas mask, also saves lives. Many soldiers survived the First World War thanks to the gas mask, which prevented deadly mustard gas from entering their lungs.
4: What Helps Doctors in Haiti
A lifesaving discovery. While researching blood transfusions, Dr. Charles Richard Drew (1904-1950) realized that blood, like other liquids, could be preserved. His method, now known as blood banking, revolutionized medicine and changed the way doctors work in remote areas or during times of war. Dr. Drew went on to form the Red Cross Blood Bank.
5: Powering Computers and Hearts
There's a lot of Black history inside your television. Otis Boykin (1920-1982) created over 28 different electronic devices, including electrical resistors that are used in home computers, television sets, radios, and guided missiles. He also invented the pacemaker.
6: The World-Famous Super Soaker
Sure, he's an aerospace engineer, but Lonnie G. Johnson (born 1949) is best known for creating the world-famous Super Soaker water gun, which has earned more than $200 million in sales. Perhaps you've contributed to that number every summer. When he's not adding to summertime fun, Johnson spends most of his time inventing mechanical and electrical systems for NASA rockets, and has earned more than 40 patents for his work.
7: Music
Kids love music. What better way to teach Black history than by introducing some of the great African-American music legends? Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong (1900-1971) was one of the most influential artists of all time. He transformed jazz into an art form, and his trumpet style is still imitated today. His two international hits, "Hello Dolly" and "What a Wonderful World," are still often heard today.
8: Jackie Robinson
Tell your baseball buffs about Jackie Robinson (1919-1972), the first Black player in Major League Baseball. Robinson didn't have it easy, often getting bottles and insults hurled his way, but he became Rookie of the Year, and in his second season, League MVP.
9: Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad
A woman called Moses? You bet. Harriet Tubman (1820-1913) was born a slave but later escaped to Philadelphia, only to return to Maryland to rescue her family. But she didn't stop there. She earned the name Moses because she risked her life traveling at night helping hundreds of Southern slaves escape to the north and Canada through a network of safe people and safe houses called the Underground Railroad.
10: Thurgood Marshall and School Desegregation
Thurgood Marshall (1908-1993) is a must-know figure in Black history. He was the first African-American to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. But as a kid, he was mischievous, and was once forced to write copies of the Constitution as punishment for his misbehavior. He later said that punishment piqued his interest in the Constitution. As a young adult, he applied to his hometown law school at the University of Maryland, but was denied entrance because of being Black. He later sued the school and won. And before he became a judge, he was a successful attorney who, most famously, won the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education case, which ended school segregation.

Akron, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Isaiah Johnson tallied 12 points and seven rebounds in just 16 minutes off the bench as the Akron Zips held off the Marshall Thundering Herd for a 59-58 victory in a non-conference matchup at James A. Rhodes Arena.
Pat Forsythe chipped in nine points and six rebounds for Akron (8-5), which also received eight points from Nick Harney. Nine of the 11 Zips that played in the contest contributed in the scoring column.
Ryan Taylor paced Marshall (5-9) with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field. Kareem Canty, Chris Thomas and TyQuane Goard all scored 10 points. Canty also had five assists and six turnovers in the Thundering Herd's third loss in a row.
Akron took a 31-25 lead into halftime despite shooting just 33.3 percent from the field including a 1-of-9 clip from behind the 3-point line in the opening 20 minutes. Although the Herd hit on 39.1 percent of their field goal tries in the first half, they trailed due to their 13 turnovers and 12 personal fouls.
Taylor scored 14 points in the second half to spearhead Marshall's rally effort. The visitors sank 52 percent of their field goal tries after the intermission, but the Zips grabbed 12 offensive rebounds and attempted four more field goals in the period.
Akron's bench outscored Marshall's reserves, 37-8, in the contest. The Zips also held a 42-29 edge in the rebounding battle.

Talk:Whole tone scale
|WikiProject Classical music
Can't the whole tone scale also be called 6-tet? 6 notes equal temperament scale? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
I added a {{fact}} tag to the end of the paragraph describing the effect of the whole tone scale since I think that subjective claim needs a citation. What else in the article needs verification or citation? Hyacinth (talk) 00:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
- "The AB Guide To Music Theory" - Eric Taylor, ISBN 1-85472-447-9, p. 246 "Since the notes of the whole tone scale are the same distance apart, they all seem to be of equal importance. None automatically stands out as a tonic or dominant." - that any good?
surely there must be many more references in the literature re. the whole tone scale's "rootless" nature. it is not as well known a device as the stack of minor thirds that makes up what is commonly called a "diminished seventh" but the principle is similar - the equidistance of intervals. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
- hmm... don't know about the 'dreamy' film music thing though! it's not the sort of language I like to see in music theory articles. but the 'rootlessness' of whole tone scales and their use as such is well documented 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
ah yeah, I wan't sure if you wanted to call attention to the whole paragraph or just that one "dreamy" sentence with the {{fact}} tag. anyway, nice edit. As per your "...depict the ominous", "depict the dreamy" would be better IMO, the composer's intent to "depict" being the key thing. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 12:23, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the "Pythagoras" section as it is not talking about the whole tone scale. If you map the intervals in that scale from the text: "The allowing arrangement is most generally accepted for the musical intervals of the planets between the earth and the sphere of the fixed stars: From the sphere of the earth to the sphere of the moon; one tone; from the sphere of the moon to that of Mercury, one half-tone; from Mercury to Venus, one-half; from Venus to the sun, one and one-half tones; from the sun to Mars, one tone; from Mars to Jupiter, one-half tone; from Jupiter to Saturn, one-half tone; from Saturn to the fixed stars, one-half tone. The sum of these intervals equals the six whole tones of the octave."
... you get (starting at C):
By contast the C whole tone scale is:
The confusion is the last sentence "the sum of these intervals equals the six whole tones of the octave". It does _not_ mean the scale is a whole tone scale, if means if you add up the half, whole and whole-and-a-half tone intervals, you end up with six tones - an octave. It would be just as true to say "equals the twelve half tones of the octave", but that doesn't mean the scale is chromatic.

All Critics (38) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (28) | Rotten (10)
So much of this oddly named but perfectly played dramedy feels real, from the revisits to VHS tapes in parents' basements to the way a family member's glance can trigger fight-or-flight responses.
The performances, especially by Zissis and Lafleur, are effectively low-key, making their characters' occasional emotional outburst all the more compelling.
There's a joke here, obviously, in the spectacle of two out-of-shape adults making fools of themselves at sporting events. Unfortunately it's the only joke, and it eventually wears thin.
A decent idea for an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The Do-Deca-Pentathlon" falls short as a movie.
"Do-Deca" can't always overcome the sensation that this is as much a no-budget as it is a no-holds-barred affair. But the sardonic slights and crafty insights are steadily there.
If it were any shorter, it would lack depth. If it were any longer, it would most likely seem a strain. As is, there's an emotional honesty here that registers quickly and often.
But if Cyrus succeeded as a marriage of established (that is to say, bankable) Hollywood performers and the already codified mumblecore aesthetic, The Do-Deca-Pentathlon comes off as pointless retread.
The Do-Deca-Pentathlon doesn't quite possess enough plot or substance to wholeheartedly warrant the full-length-feature treatment.
You've seen overgrown man child characters in plenty of Will Ferrell movies, but The Do-Deca Pentathlon is funny without playing for laughs.
The picture is strangely anticlimactic, despite highlighting numerous sporting events and a toxic domestic atmosphere, content to leisurely resolve discontent that feels like it deserves a more forceful approach.
The story girding Do-Deca - though intriguing - doesn't feel as well-developed as previous Duplass scripts. As a result, it never quite resonates, style be darned.
The wisest choice of all is to cast talented unknown actors, who make these characters and the absurd goings-on feel that much more real--and hence all the more funny.
I think the film gets better as it wears on, as the characters finally start to feel more relaxed and natural, and by the end, I bought the sentiment it reaches for.
A lot of fun as a comedy of men behaving badly, the Duplass brothers' film also digs into masculine norms and methods of communication and respect with a lot of recognizable truth.
The film is just 76 minutes long, but I left the theater feeling nourished and satisfied.
The Duplasses know how to put a small film like this together with soothing ease, and they never tax the audience with contrivances or excess baggage.
Even though their films maintain an improvised feel, none of the sequences linger; once they make their dramatic point, the next one starts. Couple that efficiency with the movie's short running time, and you've got a small, simple, and successful indie.
Although it assumes a light, inoffensive tone, Do Deca is unquestionably the brothers' most personal film by virtue of its antiheroes, a pair of warring siblings seemingly inspired by the directors themselves.
You get the sense that the Duplass brothers know in their hearts that their characters are hopelessly immature. But you also get the sense that the filmmakers understand their characters in a way that probably makes even them uncomfortable.
This movie understands the way a friendly contest can turn deadly serious, the way something trivial suddenly takes on life-changing importance.
The balance of comedy and drama here is just right, and The Do-Deca-Pentathlon never runs out of steam, heart, or laughs.
The brothers' bickering can be amusing at times but even at 76 minutes, the movie feels repetitive and overly long.
Audience Reviews for The Do-Deca-Pentathlon
Super Reviewer
The Duplass brothers, particularly Mark Duplass, must be doing something right. This year alone, Mark has been in four movies and still has The League on FX coming back in the fall. He and his brother Jay have also been doing quite well. Earlier in the year, their film Jeff, Who Lives at Home came out in theaters and now they have The Do-Deca-Pentathlon hitting theaters and VOD. 'Do-Deca' was actually made a few years ago, but between 'Jeff' and 2010's Cyrus it would seem that the Duplass' have been given the chance to put out their much smaller and more personal movie. 'Do-Deca' is a minimalist sort of feature that doubles as a high stakes sports film and an exploration of sibling rivalry. It is certainly small scale, but also well done.

Sorry about the shitty webcam quality. This is important though.
I HAVE A PROBLEM. I can't stop buying drumsticks. I love them. Promark is super fabulous, they feel awesome, they use sustainable wood…I could go on and on. Fuuu.
I guess thats the downside of working at a music store (okay, maybe not).

5 Years: How Have Things Changed for DK New Media?
Listen to the Interview with DK New Media founder Douglas Karr on the Enterprise Radio.
We've watched as other agencies have exploded in growth, retracted, and had a lot of turnover with clients and employees. For the most part, we've maintained the relationships we've had and continue to be a source of trust and authority for our clients. I believe our focus on their business success has been the leading factor in our success.
5 years ago, our focus was almost purely on Search and Marketing Technology Consulting. Over the last 5 years, we've been involved with over $500 million in capital investments, providing advice to investors and leading companies on their platforms, their competition, and the future landscape of their industries. Our travels took us all over Europe and the United States. Our SEO consulting solidified us as a leader in the industry when we anticipated the upcoming storm that Google algorithm changes were bringing, warning many of our clients that the industry was heading for trouble.
Our clients have been mostly marketing and technology-related companies who have investment funding to spend, or have large budgets that simply aren't working. We've been their CMO for Hire, a term penned by one of our first clients, Lifeline Data Centers. We establish a budget with our clients and are held accountable to that budget.
We noticed early on that in order to capitalize on our advice, we had to help clients ramp up and adjust quicker – so we now employ a team, combined with external partners, to help with that. We have an analyst, designer, developer, social consultant, content strategies, and myself to help our clients move quicker. In that 5 years, speed has meant progress. If clients can move quickly, they can grab market share. If they move slowly, they will lose it.
With search optimization a foundation, other strategies have exploded in growth over the last 5 years including mobile and video. Social media and email marketing have been continued sources of building authority, engagement, and driving traffic and conversions with clients. There's not one strategy so we've become largely vendor agnostic (irritating a few along the way when they didn't listen to us). Every client has different budgets, different talent, different resources, and most of all – different processes internally. While we approach each engagement the same, every strategy we build is tailored to win our client business.
Thanks so much to our employees, our partners, and most of all – our clients – for being with us for this journey. We look forward to the next 5 years!

Good Question: How Do I Use Mushroom Stock?
Here's an interesting question from Beth, who is looking forw ways to use the broth left over after reconstituting dried mushrooms.
I started using more dried mushrooms recently - shitake, porcini, and straw to be exact. The last few times, I saved the liquid used to reconstitute them. Afterwards, I simmered the liquid to concentrate it — reducing the volume by about 1/2-2/3. That's as far as my planning for mushroom stock went.
I have no idea how to use it other than to replace normal vegetable stock when making soup. Given the stronger flavor of porcini stock over simple vegetable stock, do you have any other suggestions? Googling this question usually results in tips on how to MAKE mushroom stock, not use it.
Beth, this is actually a great problem to have! You can use that liquid in so many ways. To start off, what are you using the reconstituted dried mushrooms for? If it's a soup, pasta, or sauce, you can probably throw the liquid in too. Just replace part of the liquid the recipe calls for with the mushroom broth.
You can reduce it, as you've been doing, and simmer it with some herbs and spices and use it as a sauce for pasta or rice. Or just substitute some of the water you'd use to cook rice for the mushroom liquid. Really, any place you use water or broth you could substitute the mushroom broth. You could toss vegetables in it, or use it to moisten a bread salad.
One tip: Often the liquid left from soaking mushrooms has dirt and grit in it. Get rid of this by sieving the broth through a paper coffee filter.
Here are a few recipes from The Kitchn that either call for mushroom broth or could have it substituted in.
• Recipe: Mushroom Soup
• Recipe: Quinoa and Mushroom Stuffed Zucchini
• Recipe: Rich No-Cream Wild Mushroom Pasta Sauce
• Recipe: Pumpernickel, Watercress and Mushroom Bread Salad
Any more ideas for Beth?

Uh, yeah... this freakin' awesome Portobello French Dip!!!
An old comfort food in my family is sausage and wild rice casserole -- the best, most flavor rich I've ever made was when I cooked the rice in mushroom stock. Mmmm.
Oh - also have used it to make dressing (or stuffing -- depending on where you grew up) instead of chicken stock. Really delicious.
I add mine to risotto, soup, bread stuffing, quinoa/couscous, bean dishes, and add a few Asian-inspired flavors (sesame oil, chili paste) in order to make a dressing for noodles or a dip for potstickers or spring rolls.
I use mushroom stock to make a mushroom stroganoff using large chunks of portobello mushroom slices.
I add a little bit of flour to about 1 cup of stock (whisked in a separate bowl) and some butter to make a roux, and then pour the roux back into the skillet to thicken the stroganoff sauce.
Those portobello french dips sound amazing.
Use it in gravy. I would also use it as a base for broth for wonton noodle soup.
Ditto on the gravy and risotto, not to mention it's a great veggie substitute for chicken stock in almost any application. It's great for pasta sauce, instead of adding just pasta water, add a few tablespoons of the mushroom stock for added flavor.
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I was unsure whether people found it too strong to use as a substitute for regular vegetable stock. Sounds like that's generally not a problem (if you like mushroomy flavor of course). Thanks for mentioning the coffee filter tip.
I forgot to add that I filled ice cube trays with the concentrated broth and have been adding the cubes sparingly to a couple of pasta sauces and soups. Thanks again!
Beth, I use mushroom stock in my Roasted Mushroom Risotto.
For the non vegetarians out there - and this is just a thought not something I've tried - I'd think a small amount of mushroom stock could add an interesting earthy flavor to a beef stew.
i would love this problem! so many uses! risotto or just cooking rice...
use in place of chicken stock in many recipes (that you have mushrooms or dont mind the flavor)
i would love to have some to do one of my many pork chop preps:
take some thick (preferably brined) pork chops and sear them. once seared remove from pan and add mushrooms and onions. once browned deglaze with some white wine, reduce by half and add your mushroom stock. put chops back in and simmer until done (145!!) take out chops and reduce liquid or make into gravy. serve deliciousness!

Updates from Day 2 at ASCO
Welcome to day 2 of live coverage of the ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago. Today was a big day for multiple myeloma!
First, a session of oral abstracts – those deemed by the scientific organizers to have the greatest impact on patient care - dedicated exclusively to myeloma discussed critically important topics: the risk of second primary malignancies (SPMs) following Revlimid treatment; the role of bisphosphonates in myeloma; and studies of new drugs in development. Three speakers discussed the potential risk of SPMs following Revlimid treatment. This issue was first brought up at last year's annual meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), in which three randomized phase III studies—MM-015, IFM 2005-02, and CALGB 100104—reported SPMs in a small number of patients receiving Revlimid maintenance. The common feature among all of these trials, as opposed to other trials where SPMs have not emerged as a potential issue, is that patients first received high-dose melphalan or the MPR regimen.
At today's session on SPMs:
Next, two speakers discussed the role of bisphosphonates in myeloma treatment, using data from the MRC Myeloma IX Trial that compared Zometa (zoledronic acid) and clodronate with chemotherapy for patients with newly diagnosed myeloma.
In a discussion following these talks, Dr. Roodman expressed his view that it was premature to change current practice regarding the use of bisphosphonates as no survival benefit was seen in patients without bone disease in this study, and the risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) remains a significant consideration.
Finally, three speakers discussed results of studies in the relapsed and/or refractory setting of novel antibodies in development for the treatment of multiple myeloma:
In his discussion of these presentations, Dr. Nikhil Munshi expressed enthusiasm for the future of monoclonal antibody therapy in myeloma and excitement regarding the elotuzumab phase III study, noting that "we may have more than one 'rituximab' (Rituxan – which transformed the care of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma) for myeloma" in the future.
Immediately following this oral session, the MMRF interviewed Drs. Rafael Fonseca and David Roodman, who provided a fascinating and informative discussion of what these and other presentations at ASCO mean for patients and their families. Stay tuned for the MMRF Myeloma Update webcast of these interviews, and for our final ASCO update tomorrow!

I am currently leveling a melee class toward my guild's "Classy Gnomes" achievement, and thanking the Light that I gave her Herbalism and Mining as professions.
It's not so much the positioning, or the lack of spiffy magical special effects...it's really having the NPC's behind or *ahem* frontal business in super close proximity that makes me loathe it.

Nike Air Max Lunar90 Leather "Mahogany"
September 5th, 2014 by Patrick Johnson | 4 comments
The Nike Air Max Lunar 90 is out to stake its claim as not only an upgraded performance shoe, but a luxurious alternative to other runners turned lifestyle staples. Sure, outfitting the silhouette in a Lunarlon x Air Max outsole will immediately upgrade the performance aspect, but there's no question that this "Mahogany" Leather Quickstrike is aimed at those looking to turn heads thanks to a buttery leather upper construction and a Bright Crimson bottom. With releases like the "Suit & Tie" Pack headed to retailers, the Lunar90 continues to dominate. So where does this pair rank? The Mahogany Air Max Lunar90 Leather is set to arrive overseas this Friday, September 5th at select spots like Titolo, so a stateside release shouldn't be that far out. What do you think? As always, grab a better view after the click and share your thoughts in the comments section.

Tully: "Well, Your Grace, we're home. Actually, there's been a slight change of plan. Ah, I know it'll come as a surprise, a pleasant one I hope, but we ... sort of won."
Sir Rupert: "You sort of what?"
Tully: "Well sir, it's a long story, but we captured the Q-Bomb, the most destructive weapon in the world. And we got some prisoners too. Ah, this is Doctor Kokintz, who invented the bomb, this is his daughter, Helen, this is General Snippet, and these are New York policemen. Oh, and, ah, this is the bomb."
Sir Rupert: "Blithering idiot!"The Mouse That Roared is a 1955 novel by Irish-American author Leonard Wibberley, which was adapted into a 1959 film starring Peter Sellers, William Hartnell, and Jean Seberg.Lodged between France and Switzerland lies the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, a tiny monarchy. The local economy is entirely dependent on the one product that Fenwick exports, its trademark Pinot Grand Fenwick wine. However, when an American company throws a copycat product on the market ("Pinot Grand Enwick"), the statelet is threatened by bankruptcy.To prevent the worst, the Fenwickers devise an ingenious plan: To declare war on the USA, get defeated, and then allow themselves to be reimbursed by American subsidies. Soon, a troop of twenty-four longbowmen in mail armor boards a plane to New York City with the intent to surrender to the American authorities — only to run into unexpected obstacles.Like the film Dr. Strangelove, the book (and later film) The Mouse That Roared was a farcical look at nuclear politics, though it ended on a far happier note than Kubrick's film. Wibberley wrote four sequels to the initial novel: Beware of the Mouse (1958), The Mouse on the Moon (1962), The Mouse on Wall Street (1969), and, finally, The Mouse that saved the West (1981). Each of them follows the same basic formula — the Duchy of Grand Fenwick triumphs over the powerful nations of the Earth in some improbable way.The third novel, The Mouse on the Moon was made into another film in 1963 and features Grand Fenwick win the The Space Race.
The novel and film of The Mouse That Roared include examples of:

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Say not of beauty she is good,
Or aught but beautiful,
Or sleek to doves' wings of the wood
Her wild wings of a gull.
Call her not wicked; that word's touch
Consumes her like a curse;
But love her not too much, too much,
For that is even worse.
O, she is neither good nor bad,
But innocent and wild!
Enshrine her and she dies, who had
The hard heart of a child.

After we arrived a hour late we had to hurry up because it was cold. So this is one result of the trip.

PHOENIX (AP) — The 2012 WNBA season would have been a challenge for the Phoenix Mercury no matter what.
With the London Olympics coming right in the middle of the regular season, the league took a month hiatus and the Mercury have two national team members on their roster. But what the Mercury didn't expect was that both of their Olympians — perennial WNBA all-stars — would be sidelined with injuries.
Others also went down during the year, and with a make-shift lineup the Mercury lost a franchise-record 10 straight on either side of the Olympic break and finished 7-27, one game below their previous worst season of 8-26 in 2003.
"We were plugging in players out of position," coach Corey Gaines said after the Mercury's season ended Sunday. "I know it was a bad year for us but we did have some positive things come up."
In the midst of the injuries, three-time Sixth Woman of the Year DeWanna Bonner, found herself the No. 1 option. Even at 6-foot-4, Bonner played at the point, shooting guard and wherever she was needed, averaging 20.9 points a game, second only to Atlanta's Angel McCoughtry.
"We had so many people in a Mercury uniform this year," Bonner said. "With all the new faces, it was hard to get that team feeling. Next year will be better."
Gaines said Bonner was the revelation of the season.
"DeWanna is the main thing, she is coming into her own, she's a superstar now, she probably demands a double team," Gaines said. "She's another player to throw into the mix when we get our players healthy."
As a lottery team, Phoenix will have a shot at the No. 1 pick in next year's draft. That drawing comes on Wednesday, right before the playoffs begin. Phoenix hasn't missed the playoffs since 2008 and reached at least the conference finals the last three years. But the ailments added up in 2012.
Seven-time all-WNBA guard Diana Taurasi sat out 26 games this season, much of it with a hip flexor, although she rested enough to be the high scorer for the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the Olympics in August. Before the season started, the Mercury lost three-time all-star and Australian national team standout Penny Taylor, who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee during the European season and had surgery two weeks before the WNBA season started.
In the ninth game of the season, inside presence Candice Dupree suffered an injury to her left knee and later had surgery, causing her to miss 21 games.
"I had fun trying to lead," Bonner said. "I'm glad to have had the opportunity to do it but I'm going to pass that back to Diana, Penny and Candice and let them do the leading. I give all the credit to those all-stars, it's a tough role."
The upshot was a season that forced Gaines to find new combinations and even led the Mercury to go back to players who had been cut in training camp.
Among the finds were rookie point guard Samantha Prahalis of Ohio State. Prahalis played in the first 26 games of the season, before suffering a shoulder injury herself, and ended up among the league leaders in assists and was the second-highest scoring rookie in the league at 11.7 points a game.
"I think next year is going to be night and day," Prahalis said. "This year was tough at times to grind it out, sometimes down by 30 and just keep playing hard. But it will pay off next year."
Center Krystal Thomas was a surprise. Thrust into the lineup by the injuries, she responded with 10 games of 10 or more rebounds, including the last five of the season. Thomas had been cut by both Seattle and Phoenix but was signed by the Mercury five days into the regular season.
Local product Dymond Simon, an undrafted free agent from Arizona State, earned a series of short-term contracts, playing in eight games, including one against Tulsa in which she scored 16 points, had six assists and three steals.

story time:
I was 11 and I hated when my parents drank. I don't know why. I hated it dearly, so one time they did & they went to get pizza and beers with my cousins, I was stuck in a hotel waiting for them to come back & when they did they were even shittier then they were before they left, I started hysterically crying because I was convinced they went to a strip club for some ungodly reason even though they had fucking 8 boxes of pizza with them & there weren't any strip clubs around & I don't know why that would even bother me. I was a weird fucking kid.
It's hard to explain but I will try my best.

The flowers would travel onto my collar bone around & under my breast & climb over my ribs & fade to my back.

I remember a man that pointed out my flaws to me,
Slapped me in my face with back handed compliments,
Stole my time & my heart just because.
I fucking hate that man.
I hate him so much.
He made me look at myself,
He made me see ugly things.
He made me realize that my choices where not really mine.
I was a puppet for others
& him.
He was a fucked up man.
He is probably still just as fucked up.
To bad I don't think about him like I use too.
I'm too busy thinking about the man that make me love myself.
The one that calls me Perfect.
All those before him were cowards.
