Not so much in this article: http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/WhosCounting/story?id=7988416&page=1
This past summer, we had our fare share of these things. The parents got strep throat (twice each), the middle and baby boys got salmonella (gross) and the oldest child got the shingles.
Here's hoping 2014 will be good to us!

I got this from Last Bottle, one of the wine clearance sites. Full retail is something like $25, but I got half a case for $9 per bottle. Small production for Bordeaux, only 2000 cases, and apparently rarely seen outside France or Britain. Even at full price, it would have been well worth it. With T-bones from my in-laws' beef farm on day one, with a gyro pizza on day two:
Chateau Duplessy, Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux 2006
Medium-dark ruby. Nice, perfumey nose of dark fruits, roses, and gravel. Dark cherry and blackberry upfront on the palate, followed by fragrant, juicy red currant, roses, gravel, and on the finish, hints of cedar/tobacco/pepper. Could almost pass for a Graves. Medium-full in body, slightly juicy, with good density. This is easily of Cru Bourgeois quality. The dark berry fruits and fragrance clearly identify it as an 2006 - and I just love 2006. Should continue to drink nice for another 3 to 5 years. 45% Merlot, 35% Cab Sauv, 20% Cab Franc. Very reasonably priced at $25. *** [2/25/12]


text: Heist films always provided some of the best soundtracks of the 70's, and this one (starring Robert Shaw and Richard Roundtree, and issued in the US as Diamond Shaft) is no exception! Roy Budd rises to the groovy occasion and scores some excellent moments that match a light orchestral sound with a throbbing electric bass and percussion underground -- in a style that's like Lalo Schifrin's best work from the time. The LP's overflowing with tracks, including a few bonus mixes, and there's even 2 vocal numbers that feature The Three Degrees. Titles include "The Thief", "Beauty & The Bass", "Diamonds", "Party Piece", "Thief On the Prowl", and more! Nice notes, and some nicely funky crime themes, too! Nice gatefold cover, too!

The trouble with baking your own tender, delicious dinner rolls for Thanksgiving is that too often they fail to come out nearly tender and delicious as you hope. Experienced bakers can pull it off without trouble, but for most folks it's a game of chance. Well, we decided Thanksgiving isn't about taking chances. It's about reliable recipes that deliver. And if you can minimize the work needed in the process, all the better.
Our recipe requires no kneading and little effort. You pretty much dump everything in a bowl, mix, set aside, shape and bake. It really is that easy. And the results really do deliver.
Start to finish: 2 1/2 hours (30 minutes active)
Servings: 12
2/3 cup warm water
2 tablespoons molasses
1/2 cup ground flax seeds, plus extra for sprinkling
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all ingredients. Mix on low until combined, then increase speed to high and mix for another 2 minutes.
Remove the paddle, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 1 hour, or until the dough is puffy. Meanwhile, coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, rolling each into a ball. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place until puffy, about 1 hour.
Toward the end of rising, heat the oven to 350 F.
Moisten the tops of the rolls lightly with water, then sprinkle with ground flax seeds. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Lately i am trying to come to terms with the way i look and i am pissed off with all the racism! I mean we grow up in a world where we have all the opportunities to learn how to distinguish right from wrong. Why is it easier to everyone to judge than accept?
I want to be able to love myself the way it is. With the stretchmarks and the extra pounds. And what does "extra" really stand for? "Extra" from what?
And why is normal so fricking good? It only shows lack of courage to just be yourself. To just be.
Who really dictates us what is normal and what is not? It used to be the church(male perspective). I really think that the world is getting more tuned in with the feminine energies. To find the balance with the dominant (male) ones for so long. So now the christian church does n't have as much influence anymore. So who is behind all this? Who is telling us how to think and what to say? Is it now the media? Is media now the male 's perspective? It definitely is n't the feminine 's perspective. I mean what about the infomercials? Have you seen a cleaning product's infomercial with a man doing the cleaning? Nooo! It is always a lady. And what about that lady? She is thin, probably blonde with huge boobs. Am i right? So the rest of us who are n't a copy- paste of that infomercial we are just not worth of attention? Is our value greater when we are thin with a compulsive obsessive behaviour of constant cleaning?
I saw a tv show and there was a girl crying because the last time she went to the beach( three years ago) someone yelled at her:"Carefull everybody whale!" Who does that? So many people trying to conviense themselves they have nothing to be afraid off and they should enjoy life like the rest of the world, go to the beach and have fun. And then that girl comes to our screens proving them and me who believed in evolution wrong. That girl could easily be me. I am not sure i could restrain myself from hitting that person. I can barely restrain myself from hitting someone who tells me i gained weight.
What is it with everybody to stating the obvious? Do they think i do not have a mirror? That they provide me a valuable piece of unknown to me information? That i have n't realised it yet and they are being helpful? Or is it their way to show me the new me is disturbing them?
I also love the question. Did you gain weight? If i answer no, will they believe me? And the other question...Why did you gain weight? Once i have answered the deepest psychological reasons of my weight gain. She did n't expect that response. People are often surprised with my lack of shame. They expect me to feel guilty for not being thin anymore. We are all expected to fit in a pattern. I am proud of not!
Blessings to all of you.

Great post! By the way, I can't read your text unless I highlight it, Its black? But I was still able to read and well said. I love about what you said about "stating the obvious" and not having a mirror. That is exactly how I feel when they point out to me like I haven't seen myself in years? Family members can be cruel (maybe that's why I haven't seen them in some years now). Last time I visited them, I was constantly reminded about my weight gain and it made me not want to go there at all until I lose some major weight. But who am I pleasing this too? Them or myself? In my opinion, love yourself no matter what! I always say that imperfection is perfection!

I truly agree with what you wrote here!
Most people claim that this is the new generation,
a new world for changes of beliefs, rules, laws, opinions yadda yadda... but in reality, there are still a lot of Neanderthals out there, who are more than willing to spew out idiotic remarks nonchalantly.
Well, the next time someone mentions something about your weight, just tell them:
"I've got tons of fat! Thing is, they're all in the right place ;)"
Then you can go strut your stuff, to hell with them! hahaha

"I came into the world. Free by nature, in the image of God, I was nevertheless the prisoner of my own violence and my own selfishness, in the image of the world into which I was born. That world was the picture of Hell, full of men like myself, loving God, and yet hating him; born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers".
These words, from Father Thomas Merton's autobiography, "The Seven Story Mountain" were quoted by the Holy Father in his address to Congress on Friday. If you've been paying attention for the last few years, you know that I'm a great fan of Father Merton. In fact, I'll be going on retreat to Gesthemane Abbey, Merton's home, in a couple of weeks. Naturally, I was pleased to hear Francis choose him as one of four Americans, along with Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, and Dorothy Day, to cite in his talk.
I know you've been following the Pope's visit to the United States, along with millions of other Americans, Catholic and non-Catholic alike. Wherever the Pope goes, especially this Pope, there's a tremendous interest in what he has to say.
Thursday night I was talking to my brother-in-law and we were discussing what a huge impact this man has on everyone, regardless of their faith. I suppose it's because he's not just OUR Pope, he's THE Pope. No other faith tradition has a single leader like we do. Even non-Catholics recognize the man's holiness and his authority to speak on matters of faith and morals.
In his talk to Congress, he hit on just about all the hot-button issues of our day. Naturally liberals disagree with him on many issues and think he's too conservative. On the other hand, conservatives find him too liberal. But, both sides of the aisle applauded his comments, sometimes reluctantly. But, they all recognize his authority and his spirituality.
We live in a divided nation and a divided world. Yet no one can dispute this man's leadership. Like most of his predecessors he's not afraid to tackle the tough issues, and that's what he does and has been doing in his visit to our country.
Obviously many people in Jesus' day violently opposed things that the Lord said. Some were so opposed that they had Him tortured and killed. Many of His teachings went against the leaders of the day, and they still rub many of our current leaders the wrong way as well. But they all listened!
One reason that so many opposed Jesus is that His teachings threatened their power and authority. But that didn't stop Him from speaking the truth.
Merton said that he was born into a world that was "the picture of Hell, full of men like myself, loving God, and yet hating him; born to love him, living instead in fear of hopeless self-contradictory hungers". Today's world is no different from Merton's; in fact it's worse. Those "self-contradictory hungers" are running rampant. We're still born to love God, but our hunger for self-gratification often blinds us to the truth.
Great Americans, like Lincoln, King, Day, and Merton suffered for their beliefs. Lincoln and King were assassinated. Day was scorned by many. And Merton, who deserves to be declared a saint, hasn't been and possibly never will be because his views were often unpopular.
So, what's all this mean to us? It means that we must all stand up for the truth, even if it makes us unpopular and uncomfortable. It's ironic that our Catholic faith disturbs people on both sides of the political spectrum. I think most people agree that we should respect life. But we often disagree when it comes to particular lives. The same people who argue that abortion is wrong have no problem with capital punishment. Jesus taught murder is always wrong. "Thou shalt not kill" is one of the Ten Commandments. It doesn't say "except when the new life is inconvenient" or "except when someone has committed a terrible crime." We don't get to make that choice. Yet people of faith will argue forcefully on both sides of this argument. How ironic is it that our local daily newspaper is so accepting of the killing of an innocent child but is diametrically opposed to capital punishment?
Even as the Holy Father was speaking to Congress, they were in the process of killing legislation that would have taken our tax dollars away from Planned Parenthood. Their desire to gain political points is more important to them than doing what is right. It's one of those "hopeless self-contradictory hungers" Merton spoke of.
The Pope spoke about the importance of the family, yet same-sex marriage is now the law of the land. But even he must wrestle with contradiction. His past words show that he's no fan of capitalism, yet he recognizes that the great wealth of the United States is important in so many ways.
He ended his message by saying, "In these remarks I have sought to present some of the richness of your cultural heritage, of the spirit of the American people. It is my desire that this spirit continue to develop and grow, so that as many young people as possible can inherit and dwell in a land which has inspired so many people to dream.
God bless America!
And God bless Pope Francis for telling it like it is.
I do want to take just a minute to mention that next weekend there will be a second collection for the formation of Permanent Deacons.
It's no secret that the Church is suffering from a vocation crisis. We desperately need more priests to serve the people of God. Here at Saint John Nepomuk we are more aware than most that the Church is looking to ease the shortage by using deacons and lay people to do the things that priests have always done in the past.
Right now the Archdiocese is taking a hard look at every parish to find better ways to use our limited resources, both physical and human. We're going to see more cases where parishes are administered by non-priests, freeing priests up to do the things that only they can do. But we need more deacons almost as desperately as we need more priests. The formation of deacons is a long and expensive process and the men in training for the diaconate pay many of their own expenses.
Your generosity to this collection will make it possible for more men to answer the call to serve. Let me be clear. This collection does not benefit those of us currently ordained. The administration of the office of the Permanent Diaconate is funded through the Annual Catholic Appeal. This collection is for the educational expenses of our upcoming deacons. It would be a shame if future deacons had to be turned away because of the lack of funds. It would be an even greater shame if small communities like this one had to be closed because of the lack of deacons.
Please be as generous as possible to this important collection.

Faux Wood Beams and our other interior and exterior products will make your home look great, without costing a lot of money. Our multiple attractive and natural finishes work in any design situation. We offer the widest selection of faux beams and other molded faux wood products on the market! With this full range of versatile looks, your imagination and creativity are your only limits.
Cabin and cottage ceilings look dramatic with exposed wood beams, but achieving this look can be pricey. The heft of solid wood beams can also cause structural issues if they're not supported adequately. Alternatively, consider there three-sided box beams made from reclaimed wood. They're hollow inside, so they can be used to wrap existing steel supports or hide electrical wires.
Cabin Life Magazine
My wife and I, both of which are in our sixties, stained and installed the beams on our 12' high ceiling.We have received many compliments about the beams. The only time I tell people they are faux beams is when they ask how we got them up on the ceiling.
Del Monte, AZ
We are very happy with the beautiful, natural driftwood faux wood beams installed in our living room. The grain, color, sheen are all natural and subtle; they look very authentic. Customer service was helpful in sending a variety of samples, determining the size to order, and tracking the progress. Our contractor found them easy to install. They've transformed our room!

Neon colors and novelty shapes are not usually the hallmarks of quality food. So I was surprised last week when a colleague who is a serious foodie brought in a mix of peanuts, plain M&Ms; and candy corn.
I understood the M&Ms; -- along with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, they're the only things I'm even tempted to steal from my kids' Halloween haul -- but candy corn? Really?
"They just feel autumny," said John- John Williams IV, recalling how the tri-colored candies topped the Halloween cupcakes he had as a kid. "It reminds me of being young."
Years, maybe decades, had passed since I'd had candy corn, so I sampled one of John-John's. They weren't as sickly sweet as I'd expected. (I think they benefited from having been mixed with the salty peanuts.) But I still wouldn't seek them out.
That said, I truly appreciate the candy -- and John-John -- for inspiring this week's list:
Top Ten Polarizing Holiday Candies
1. Candy corn
2. Candy pumpkins
Same thing as candy corn, only shaped like a gourd and bigger. Sometimes less is more.
3. Cadbury creme eggs
The oozing fake-egg center inside the chocolate shell fascinates kids. To the rest of us, it's what tomatoes were to George Carlin: something that looks like it's "still in the larval stage."
4. Candied cherries
I have the same "larval" complaint about these chocolate-covered treats, which tend to show up at Christmas and Valentine's Day
5. Conversation hearts
If you have to say it through Necco wafers, the relationship is doomed.
6. Jelly beans
Dentists love their stick-to-your- teeth quality.
7. Peeps
Untoasted marshmallows are an abomination, no matter how cute they look. Their only redeeming social value is as a crafts project: peeps sushi.
8. Whitman's sampler
Pair it with a carnation-filled bouquet at Valentine's Day and watch your romance die.
9. Ribbon candy
My aunt and uncle always had this at their house on Christmas. We thought it was the height of elegance. I'm sure our sticky hands and faces were anything but.
10. Candy canes
As preschoolers, my kids learned a little ditty about how the canes were shaped like "J" for Jesus, with the white symbolizing his sinless life and the red standing for the blood he shed. Eew. Can't we just let the kids' teeth rot without bringing bodily fluids into it?

A definition of wedge sum can be found here:
My professor has claimed that wedge sums of path connected spaces X and Y are well-defined up to homotopy equivalence, independently of choice of base points x0 and y0. Base point here means the points that are identified under the equivalence relation forming the wedge product out of the disjoint union topology of X and Y.
Recall homotopy equivalence of X and Y means that there is f:X->Y and g:Y->X continuous with gf and fg homotopic to the identity.
With these definitions, please prove my professor's claim, which I have failed to do for a week. (It is left as an exercise in his lecture.)

<< Back to Live Windows Project
Human Rights Day presents an opportunity, every year, to celebrate human rights, highlight a specific issue, and advocate for the full enjoyment of all human rights by everyone everywhere.
Below are two video contributions to the Live Windows Project from students at MHMK Berlin, in Germany.
Thanks to authors Dominique Cimen, Maria Hönick, Kevin Klietsch, Bianca Koigke, Felix Pfahlert, Frederik Scheeff and Anton Voigt. Also to their tutors Nikolaus Böhning, Thomas Stegmann & Michael Wruck
This year, the spotlight is on the rights of all people — women, youth, minorities, persons with disabilities, indigenous people, the poor and marginalized — to make their voices heard in public life and be included in political decision-making.
These human rights — the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, to peaceful assembly and association, and to take part in government (articles 19, 20 and 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) have been at the centre of the historic changes in the Arab world over the past two years, in which millions have taken to the streets to demand change. In other parts of the world, the "99%" made their voices heard through the global Occupy movement protesting economic, political and social inequality.
Make your voice count!
People around the world used #VoiceCount to share their thoughts about the right to participate in public life and political decision-making.

GAITHERSBURG, MD., and SHANGHAI, China, Sept. 10, 2012 – MedImmune, the global biologics arm of AstraZeneca, and WuXi AppTec, a leading research and development outsourcing company, today announced that they have formed a joint venture to develop and commercialize MEDI5117, a novel biologic for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, in China.
MedImmune will provide technical and development expertise, while WuXi AppTec will provide local regulatory, manufacturing, pre-clinical and clinical trial support. When undertaking clinical trial development in China, the government requires local manufacture of medicines that have not been approved in other markets.
"We are pleased to partner with WuXi AppTec, a company with strong leadership in the Chinese pharmaceutical R&D sector, to help us address the healthcare needs of Chinese patients through the co-development of MEDI5117," said Bahija Jallal, Executive Vice President, Research & Development, MedImmune. "This strategic partnership will enable us to establish a leadership presence in developing novel biologics in China, complementing AstraZeneca's investment in this important emerging market."
The joint venture will control the development of MEDI5117 for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in China, and the two companies will have equal ownership in the joint venture. AstraZeneca / MedImmune will have the option to acquire the full rights to commercialize MEDI5117; otherwise, the joint venture will have the right to commercialize the product. WuXi AppTec will earn revenue based on services provided to the joint venture. MedImmune will receive various milestone payments as the program progresses.
"WuXi is delighted to work with MedImmune, an innovative biologics company, to develop and manufacture a novel product for first use in China," said Dr. Ge Li, Chairman and CEO of WuXi AppTec. "WuXi is working to build long-term drug development partnerships with leading biopharmaceutical companies like MedImmune to help accelerate the development of novel medicines for the large and rapidly growing Chinese pharmaceutical market."
Today's announcement supports AstraZeneca's ongoing commitment to collaborating across Asia in ways that maximize the scientific and local knowledge of its partners and tap into the region's strong history of innovation.
The Chinese government's focus on healthcare reform, along with its investment in improving healthcare infrastructure and expanding medical insurance coverage, are expected to continue to drive growth and demand for quality medicines over the long term. China also continues to increase its biomedical R&D investment, fuelled by sustained GDP growth. The Chinese pharmaceutical market grew from $10 billion in 2004 to $41 billion in 2010 and, according to IMS Health, is projected to grow to over $100 billion by 2014.
About MEDI5117
MEDI5117 is currently being studied in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. MEDI5117, a novel investigational biologic, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that depletes IL-6 and bears MedImmune's proprietary half-life extending mutation (known as the "YTE" technology) designed to give a long duration of action. IL-6 is known to be an important mediator in the production of inflammation and pain in a variety of disease states. MEDI5117 is currently in phase I in the US and Europe. In China, a local investigational new drug (IND) application will be filed for MEDI5117. Following that process, phase I trials will be initiated.

Statements in this release contain "forward-looking" statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including, among others, the development and commercialization of MEDI5117; the anticipated benefits of the joint venture to the parties; the ability of the joint venture to accelerate the development of novel medicines for the Chinese market; the Chinese government's focus on healthcare reform and improving healthcare infrastructure; the expansion of medical insurance coverage in China; the expected growth in demand for quality medicines; and the projected growth of the Chinese pharmaceutical market.
These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only our belief regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of our control. WuXi PharmaTech's, including WuXi's and the joint venture's, actual results and financial condition and other circumstances may differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results and financial condition indicated in these forward-looking statements. Among other factors, the parties may not realize the anticipated benefits of the joint venture; the joint venture may experience operational difficulties or management distraction; and MedImmune's and WuXi's interests may not be fully aligned initially or may diverge in the future.

In addition, other factors that could cause WuXi's actual results to differ from what it currently anticipates include failure to generate sufficient future cash flows or to secure any required future financing on acceptable terms or at all; failure to retain key personnel; WuXi's reliance on a limited number of customers to continue to account for a high percentage of its revenues; the risk of payment failure by any of its large customers, which could significantly harm its cash flows and profitability; WuXi's dependence upon the continued service of our senior management and key scientific personnel, and WuXi's ability to retain its existing customers or expand its customer base.

Tips For Supplementing Your In-Classroom Language Learning Endeavor
May 25, 2018 at 6:03 pmCategory:Languages | Reference and Education
In spite of the fact that there are numerous sites and online journals that can help individuals from everywhere throughout the world take in another dialect, there are still advantages to be picked up in the event that you agree to accept a conventional, classroom-based dialect course. For one, you can appreciate the advantage of expressly meeting and being in an indistinguishable class from the educator or guide. You will likewise have physical correspondence with your schoolmates. Beside having the capacity to meet other individuals, your cohorts can go about as your emotionally supportive network also – they will enable you to comprehend the lessons and give you some valuable pointers, as well. Also, by being in a classroom when taking in another dialect, you can get quick help or direction from your educator. You can instantly ask the educator or teacher in the event that you are articulating or utilizing a specific word or expression mistakenly.
Being in the real nearness of an instructor or mentor and your colleagues will absolutely enable you to ace another dialect in due time. Notwithstanding, you can even now have a speedier and less demanding time taking in another dialect by following these tips:
• If you have recently begun taking in another dialect, abstain from watching outside movies since the on-screen characters as a rule talk quick and utilize new words. Also, on the off chance that you watch outside movies, you will tend to center around perusing subtitles instead of tuning in to the on-screen characters. Also, endeavor to abstain from understanding anything while at the same time tuning in to sound since you'll be less centered around it.
• When taking in another dialect and honing your perusing abilities, abstain from deciphering each word read in a part or segment since this is an insufficient strategy. Language specialists say you should center around setting and comprehension. Once you've perused a segment, you can decipher new words. Likewise, it would work further bolstering your good fortune in the event that you read resoundingly. Make unique sentences with the new words you've figured out how to enhance understanding. Remember that individuals who center exclusively around adapting new words will typically battle executing them into unique sentences.
• as far as talking, talking so anyone might hear while honing an outside dialect is an unquestionable requirement. Try not to be excessively unsure while rehearsing with cohorts. The greater part of individuals figuring out how to talk a remote dialect will dependably battle with elocution. This is on the grounds that it will require you investment to wind up happy with talking another dialect. In that capacity, don't be difficult for yourself in the event that you commit errors. This is a piece of the learning procedure. Remember that the best method to take in another dialect is by talking it. Also, keep notes of the oversights you make and don't dither to talk when asked by the instructor or guide since he or she will exhibit how to accurately articulate the words you talk or utilize inaccurately.
