i love you site! i just read about it in last week's nyt mag section, am a writer, will use wordnik constantly, what a service! thank you, susan anderson (author of JOURNEY FROM ABANDONMENT TO HEALING)
"We could more easily re-invent public schools by volunteering our time to them directly, instead of sending our kids to private schools while we sign petitions for government to re-prioritize. And even in health care, we'd end up cutting everyone's costs by commuting less, smoking less, landscaping less, and, yes, hating less. For each of these actions triggers different responses, undermines industries, requires new legal structures, and so on. It's tiny, but it's almost fractal in its impact."

Message Category: Health/Nutrion Topics Topic: Wanted: Quicker recovery time
Dave, Thanks for your answers. I have been talking to others including a doctor who ran the same Marathon. He was not as concerned about me being hot since he said it was a hot day by the end of the race. I am looking into how to modify my running when temps get warmer. Everyone I have been talking to has been telling me to stay away from water and just drink sports drinks. I will try that. More people are agreeing to the tunnel vision as well. I will try things slightly differently on the next run and see how it goes.
Thanks, Bill

Turning Friends Into Culinary Guinea Pigs – French Baguettes
Author: Bookstore Piet // Category: Baguettes, Baking, Bread, Char-Broil Red, house, life, recipesRVA Foodie's mother is here visiting her new grandchild and Mr Foodie and I started discussing the possibility of getting together during her visit. Initially we discussed going to brunch, possibly Rowlands, but M reminded us that this Sunday was to be Mother's Day – quite possibly the worst day of the year to do brunch. Instead it was decided that we would fire up my new grill and cook at home on Saturday. This actually worked well for me as I had already been planning an experiment for that night.
I had been eyeing our new oven and had been considering the possibilities beyond simple cooking. Never had I actually baked bread and, to be honest, hadn't baked anything for a couple of decades. The target choice was easy, my favourite crusty concoction – Baguettes. How hard could it be? Well, after a bit of research it turned out to involve a few more steps than everyday cooking and while the ingredients seemed to require exact precision the baking was not so precise.
Here's the standard recipe I culled from a number of sources to create my own base. As we were having guests I doubled the recipe.
French Baguette
4 Cups Unbleached AP White Flour (+1/2 cup for working)
1 Package Dry Active Yeast
2 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
1 1/2 Cups Cool Water
4 Teaspoons Vital Gluten
1-2 Tablespoons Canola Oil
a) Pour water (tap cool not refrigerated) in large glass mixing bowl. Add yeast and gluten, mix and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
b) Add 2 cups of the flour and mix thoroughly. Add remaining flour and combine.
c) On a clean dry surface sprinkle some of the working flour and knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. Add working flour as needed to achieve consistent moisture level throughout. Final result should be a large ball.
d) Coat large glass bowl with Canola Oil. Add the ball of dough and roll to coat. Cover with plastic and place in refrigerator for 14-18 hours. Dough may need to be punched down every now and then.
e) Remove bowl from refrigerator about an hour before you are going to start working with it to allow to come to room temperature.
f) Preheat oven to 475-500. You kind of need to now how your oven works to figure out the best cooking temp for you. Place large dutch oven filled with water on the lowest level of the oven.
g) Split dough into loaf size portions. I wasn't sure how much the everything would grow in the oven so I split my doubled recipe into 4 portions. I ended up with something closer to a demi then a baguette.
h) Knead your dough out on a floured surface into the desired shape and allow to rest for at least 30 minutes.
i) Cover baking sheet with parchment paper and place loaves on top. With a sharp knife or razor slice 3 or four slices into the dough. Brush top of loaf with water.
j) Bake for 25-30 minutes. Bread crust should sound hollow when knocked.
k) Place on cooling rack.
I baked the loaves in two groups. The first time I the oven was set at 475 and on the convection setting. It baked a little to quickly with the convection and threatened to burn in a couple of spots. The next go I set the oven to normal bake and the temp at 475. This time it seemed to be cooking too slowly so, about 10 minutes in, I upped the temperature to 490 and added 2 minutes to the cooking time. We sampled both loaves at the same time and, while there was no major difference between the two, the second set of loaves was more visually appealing.
The verdict? Not bad for a first attempt. The bread was very dense and heavy but in a really good way. For a variety of reasons I had cut the refrigerated rising time down to 9 hours which hadn't given enough time for the little yeasties to burp enough into the dough. The Foodies really seemed to enjoy it. I had laid out both a dipping oil and Lurpak butter from Denmark for the bread and surprisingly the butter was the clear favourite. Actually, the Lurpak was such a hit they wanted to know where to get it (Fresh Market).
The rest of the dinner went well, not least of which was due to both Finn and Jasper sleeping through the entire evening. Mr Foodie was relegated to eating more of the bread for the appetizer as I did a very simple flat-iron steak on the grill, sliced it thin and served with horseradish cream. For entrees we had Haibut seared on the grill and sauteed zucchini from my nifty new mesh pan on the grill.
Desert brought an overload of joy. M had made a strawberry and Frangelico trifle, the Foodies brought fresh strawberries from their garden, and there was something else. I had read on Veron's blog that the Foodies had been by her stall at the Farmer's Market this morning. Would we be trying her macarons for the first time? Yes, we were. I am at a loss as to describe how good these were. I would say my favourite was the vanilla creme due to it's amazing taste and simplicity but the salted caramel was a joy in it's complexity. Either way both went well with my Grand Marnier.
Wrapping up the evening there was and abundance of food left over (hopefully from there being too much and not a reflection on the cook). We put together a take away bag for the Foodies. I was a little hesitant to add some of the sliced bread that had been sitting out for 4 hours for fear of it having gone stale. I touch a piece and found it to be perfectly fresh. Guess home baked fares a bit better than store bought. The two remaining loaves were cut the next day and tasted just as fresh as the day before even though they hadn't been wrapped. With the cost of bread these days I may have to try baking at home a bit more.

Our feet can get neglected during the winter since we don't have to worry about them looking pretty in sandals. But with summer right around the corner, I figured I'd better get a head start in prepping my dry feet with Essence of Beauty Moisturizing Gel Booties ($17).

Latina.com readers, I read all your comments, muchas gracias. From them, I've noticed that price often determines whether or not you will try a hair product. And hey, in these tough economic times, who doesn't want affordable options to keep curls looking their best? So, Stardust17, EstrellaMartinez, BoriLibra10, NYCDaisy17 and all you fabulous chicas, every few weeks I'm going to highlight budget-friendly products that work wonders on curls.
Singer Fergie, who recently debuted a self-titled footwear line, dished to People.com about her decision to go from blonde to brunette, and says she didn't take the shift lightly. "It's kind of a new era for me," Fergie says. "I'm married, new Black Eyed Peas [album], getting back with them.
Did you ever paint your nails with markers when you were bored in school? I know I'm guilty as charged. This old habit came to mind because I tried Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen in Magenta, ($9). Other brands have also come out with nail polish pens, like Nicole by OPI. It feels like you're using a magic marker on your nails, but this time I knew I wasn't going to get in trouble.
I rarely straighten my hair. Last time I remember trying to use a straightening iron, I was in high school and back then you had to dry your hair before ironing it. That meant either blow-drying first, or detangling my curls while dry instead of in the shower with conditioner, which is painful and causes breakage since you're pulling on dry locks. I never tried an iron again until recently, now that there are ones you can use on damp hair. I tried Remington Wet2Straight 2" Flat Iron (available at Target in May for $35), but there are several others you can choose from.

Doctor of Chiropractic Brian Najor goes beyond alleviating symptoms; he attempts to help the body naturally repair itself and prevent further problems. He does so with adjustments that fix everything from bad back to migraines and corrective exercises that help realign the skeletal system. Dr. Najor also helps patients revamp their lifestyle with advice on activities they should forgo in order to avoid further injuries.
Hair thin and metallic, the needles at AB Acupuncture don't seem like they would pack much punch. But in the right hands—an acupuncturist's—they gently wash away pain. The hefty list of ailments acupuncture helps includes knee pain, headaches, nausea, peptic ulcers, and allergies. The specialists also alleviate aches and tension with Thai, tui na, and lymphatic-drainage massages and episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Dr. Brian Rohowits, who has plied his trade on several charitable missions, straightens domestic spines using the ancient art of chiropractics. During the 45-minute consultation and evaluation, in which clients share their treatment goals and concerns, Dr. Rohowits snaps wayward spines back into shape with an adjustment, aligning backbones to help relieve their pain and achieve their dreams of becoming a stand-in construction level. Enhancing the effects of the chiropractic treatment, a 45-minute therapeutic massage encourages vertebrae to stay in line while relieving stress and unknotting muscles from sultry love triangles.
Although Dr. Kenneth Brinegar's hands can tell much about a patient's bones and muscles during an exam, they can't see everything. Fortunately, he's also a licensed radiology supervisor and can snap spinal x-rays to pinpoint where he suspects a subluxation lives. Together with Dr. Janis R. Prout and a staff of massage therapists, the team discharges internal troublemakers with adjustments and physiotherapy to alleviate pain and help bodies revert to their harmonious default setting.
Jessie, La Mesa Spine Center's trained massage therapist, deploys multiple ache-erasing modalities during therapeutic massages designed to curb chronic aches caused by illness or injury. During each 60-minute session, clients can pit sore necks and backs against gliding, stress-pummeling techniques. Jessie's muscle-melting arsenal also encompasses sports massage, which helps boost circulation and prevent injury, as well as pregnancy bodywork designed to alleviate discomfort in moms-to-be. Deep-tissue techniques pass through multiple layers of muscle, targeting pent-up stress pockets.
After 25 years as an elite athlete, Greg Bourque had something of a holistic epiphany. "I received treatment for six months for a bicycling-related knee injury and was getting no relief," explains Greg. "Then I tried acupuncture and the next day I was 100% better, and the next week rode 500 kilometers pain-free." The experience was so eye-opening, that he became a practitioner himself. Greg has been in practice since 2000, and has successfully treated various sports teams and elite athletes––cyclist Chris Horner and ultramarathon runner Josh Cox to name a few. Though his athlete patients range from 30 to 50 years old and come to Greg for a variety of reasons, he also offers acupuncture and massage services for non-sports-related ailments such as chronic tension, headaches, and stage fright.
The instructors at City of Champions include a MMA fighter, a muay thai artist, a wrestler, and an ACE-certified trainer who teaches strength and conditioning classes. Together, the team supplies self-defense and fitness training for every stage of life: kid, teen, adult, and ghost.

http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Scripting SLEEP COMMANDS sleep command usleep command Today's typical developer main PC at home is a P4 or AMD screaming fast iron. These new programmers actually miss the resource limiting constraints of a Atari St, Amiga 3000, Commodore 64 or even a 8088 Intel PC with only 640 kbyte RAM. For sake! Even Bill Gates once said the 640 kb RAM limit would never be exceeded. Nowadays, besides RAM abuse, CPU cycles are really abused in god forbidden ways and methods. For e.g. pcmcia and hotplug to work, its common practice that inside a startup script the kudzu program is called several times in a row. Next if one counts inside /etc/rc.d/init.d directory the number of "sleep 1" calls, one finally understands why that P4 3.0 GHz hotrod iron is still slower at booting up as my old pentium P75 with RedHat 4.2 : [root@tinker init.d]# grep sleep * | wc -l 31 [root@tinker init.d]# So booting might at least take 30 seconds extra due to sleep commands. One might check /etc/init.d/functions where the sleep command is used inside a loop! Why not use the usleep command? This command uses a microsecond as its time unit instead of a whole second. My solution would be to replace all sleep shell scripting commands with usleep and put 2 or 3 zeros behind the number of seconds . so one would replace : sleep 1 ==> usleep 1000 1 second ===> 1 msec Your Linux machine and its scripts might boot/run a 1000 times faster after this.

Has anyone tried the new version of stimx? how do you like it? how does it compare to the old?
Its not as strong. I can take 3 caps and not really feel anything.
I was extremely anxious to try the new version and I have to say I am extremely disappointed with the effects, which are minimal at best. I hope AX will still continue the original version as it still seems to work better for me and my wife. I had to take twice the doseage of the new version and even after that I did not notice the effects that I get from the original. All of the hype of the new version led me to believe that AX actually could improve upon Stim-X but that is not the case. The original version controls appetite much better and gives me more energy and focus. I have even taken Reset AD and that did not help the new Stim-X.
i have noticed alot of AX's product sequels falling short of the originals, except maybe hyperdrol.
I love the original and still have some but just placed an order for the new vesrion so i'll give my feedback and comparison when i receive it.
Anyone have any more reviews? I want to pull the tirgger on getting some more, but i only want 2.0 if it is indeed better than the orignal!
We have a 100% satisfaction guarantee so you cant really go wrong.
oh, dont get my wrong Smith. I am not questioning AX's quality at all. I have always had nothing but good things to say about your stuff and most of my ph experience is from your previous products.
Since i have heard some mixed reviews (online and around), i am just curious on the comparison between the two. I know it is still early since release, though.
I really, really loved the orignal. Great energy, awarness, wellbeing, etc. Weither it was needed energy in the gym for bball, or help during a sub 5hr sleep week, stim x rocked. But ofcourse you already knew that.
This comming from someone that doesnt respond well to stim's at all. I even recommended it here to someone.
How do I go about getting a refund for Stim-X v2? I would be happy to exchange it for the original. Do I need to return to the planet or directly to AX? I gave some samples to a couple of friends of mine whom I got hooked on the original Stim-x and they felt nothing from the new version. Is it possible I got a bad batch? Maybe you guys can compare the complaints from the other posts to the batch and date to see what is up? I had such high hopes. Anyway, I have 43404 MAY2010 stamped on the bottle. I just counted 74 pills left and in doing so, I found 4 of the capsules were cracked-just FYI. Please tell me that AX will continue to make the original version. If not I will have to stack up on the old version if I can still get it. Might I ask why the formula was changed when nothing was wrong with the original version? I would really like to speak with someone that thinks the new version is better than the old. Did I miss out on something or were there sample available of the new version? I got hooked on the original version from the samples and I don;t remember seeing anywhere that we could sample the new version -but I could be wrong.
Big Smith or anyone else -can you tell me how I go about getting a refund on the new stim-x? I am willing to exchange in for the original version.
you have to go through your retail to get a refund.
i loved the original version and i like the new version equally, if not better! It has the same energy kick with an added mental clarity ("edge").
but, each of us repsonds differently and if you are unhappy, you can go through your retailer you purchased it from.
I just received on friday. The new bottle looks good with the main stimx scheme color. I also like the new org engaved pills, too, but a couple of pills were cracked as well! :spite:
First pill will go down tomorrow AM, and its been about 4wks since i had the orignal, so my receptor ability should be good.
I will give input back later this week......
thanks for the feedback
please post it here when you try.
so far so good this morning. Energy and focus is up (i need it with 5.5hrs sleep). Appetite is still lingering but no pain as has happened before. will give more info later this today/this week.
Can anybody tell me if the original version (the one that actually works) is still going to be manufactured or is AX sticking with the new version? I do not see the old version on the planet, so my guess is the latter and I feel bad for AX since it will not be long until they see a tremendous drop in sales from one of their best products. So hopefully when they realize the new version was a mistake, they will revert back to the good stuff. I would venture to guess that AX invested a ton of money in the manufacturing and marketing of the new version so it may be a while until they will abandon it and cut their losses to go back to the original. First ephedrine was banned and now this.
The planet has responded and informed me that they will not refund my money and would only do so if the product was damaged. So how do I go about having AX make due on it's 100% satisfaction guarantee. I also know that I am not the only one dissatisfied and trying to get a refund. I thought I read on here somewhere that both versions were going to be offered and since that is not the case, the version that works is hard to find now. Does AX have a stash that I could tap into? Hopefully if enough people complain like they previously did with AX adding cocoalean to the original version, which subsequently led to the removal, they may consider doing the same.

You are either born with patience or you're not. I'm pretty sure it's that simple. I have tried to teach myself patience, but after several years of actively trying to improve, I have decided it falls into the nature, not nurture, category.
I have gotten much, much better. But there is one situation in which all my growth flies out the window: bedtime.
I love sleep. I think I've said this before, but if I had two extra hours in my day, I would choose sleep over most anything else. More importantly, I need sleep. And so does a 3-year-old, for that matter.
Lately, she's decided she doesn't need sleep. We've always struggled a bit with bedtime, but usually once she's in bed, she's slept all night long, no problem.
Now she's decided 5:30 a.m. is a reasonable time to wake up, or sometimes 2 a.m. or 3:30 a.m., and she completely refuses to nap at preschool. (I recently asked her if she ever gets in trouble at school, and she nodded. After I asked her what the teacher says to her when she gets in trouble, she said, "Miss Ann says, 'Cambria, shut those little eyes.'")
I have a friend whose 3-year-old has always woken up between 5 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. and doesn't need a nap every day. The difference is Cambria absolutely, positively needs to sleep. She needs sleep more than you need coffee. And way more than I need that extra cookie.
Here's a little day-in-the-life of a sleepless family:
Refusing to stay in bed. If there's anything worse than chasing a child back to bed, it's chasing one who is laughing the entire way.
Falling asleep at 5 p.m. watching TV in Grandma's bed because she absolutely wouldn't shut her eyes during naptime. (She gets that stubbornness from her dad.)
Being a monster when she wakes up because she only napped 45 minutes and NEEDS sleep (this lasts at least a half an hour).
During the long holiday break, I reached my breaking point. I feel we have tried everything – letting her cry it out, doing the Supernanny trick of putting her back to bed without talking, sleeping on her floor, taking things away, bribing with a fun activity – you name it.
After two hours of listening to her cry and fighting with my husband about how to handle it, I gave in and did what no mom should do with her 3-year-old. I rocked her to sleep. If that is any indication of how 2012 will be, I am ready for 2013.
Have you had trouble with sleep? If you've got answers we haven't tried, send them my way.

- FunctionCollagen type III occurs in most soft connective tissues along with type I collagen.
- Involvement in diseaseDefects in COL3A1 are a cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 3 (EDS3) [MIM:130020]; also known as benign hypermobility syndrome. EDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDS3 is a form of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome characterized by marked joint hyperextensibility without skeletal deformity.
Defects in COL3A1 are the cause of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type 4 (EDS4) [MIM:130050]. EDS is a connective tissue disorder characterized by hyperextensible skin, atrophic cutaneous scars due to tissue fragility and joint hyperlaxity. EDS4 is the most severe form of the disease. It is characterized by the joint and dermal manifestations as in other forms of the syndrome, characteristic facial features (acrogeria) in most patients, and by proneness to spontaneous rupture of bowel and large arteries. The vascular complications may affect all anatomical areas.
Defects in COL3A1 are a cause of susceptibility to aortic aneurysm abdominal (AAA) [MIM:100070]. AAA is a common multifactorial disorder characterized by permanent dilation of the abdominal aorta, usually due to degenerative changes in the aortic wall. Histologically, AAA is characterized by signs of chronic inflammation, destructive remodeling of the extracellular matrix, and depletion of vascular smooth muscle cells. - Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the fibrillar collagen family.
Contains 1 fibrillar collagen NC1 domain.
Contains 1 VWFC domain. - Post-translational
modificationsProline residues at the third position of the tripeptide repeating unit (G-X-Y) are hydroxylated in some or all of the chains.
O-linked glycan consists of a Glc-Gal disaccharide bound to the oxygen atom of a post-translationally added hydroxyl group. - Cellular localizationSecreted > extracellular space > extracellular matrix.

Configuration and change management with Bcfg2
A database lets you retrieve configuration information from more data sources. For example, you could automatically generate the DHCP, DNS, and NIS configuration data from a source such as a directory service. The example in Listing 5 shows how TCheetah on Debian configures the network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces on the basis of data from a PostgreSQL database.
Listing 5
TCheetah-Configured network/interfaces
01 #from Bcfg2.Server.dbconnection import DBPgConnection 02 #silent result = DBPgConnection().execute( 03 "SELECT ip, netmask, broadcast, gateway \ 04 FROM hosts \ 05 WHERE hostname = '%s'" % $self.metadata.hostname) 06 07 auto eth0 08 iface eth0 inet static 09 address $result[0] 10 netmask $result[1] 11 broadcast $result[2] 11 gateway $result[3]
Configurations do not just apply to file entries. System services must be configured to reflect the runlevels. The Service generator reads the administrative information in Svcmgr/services.xml to discover how to configure, say, the NTP service.
To do so, the server references the service referred to as <service name= 'ntpd' /> in the matching bundle.
Then, services.xml is used to specify whether or not the client should start the service:
<Services priority='0'> <Service name='ntpd' status='on' /> </Services>
The generator converts these details to tangible configurations and sends them to the client, which then applies distribution-specific methods to enable or disable the service.
Bcfg2 does not replace the package manager, but it can have the effect of shifting more control from the package manager to the system administrator, who can use Bcfg2 to specify which version of which individual package the tool installs. XML files manage information about the available packages and synchronize the details with the installation server package selection. Multiple installation servers allow administrators to assign different priorities – for example, for security updates.
The Bcfg2 client compares global and local package versions and upgrades or downgrades accordingly. Administrators can freeze special versions by assigning them the highest priority.
Other generators configure directories, symlinks, and many other element types. Some more experienced administrators will appreciate the ability to use plugins to bind Python functions to the generators provided with the Bcfg2 distribution.

Nestled on a cliffside, a small town zig-zagged up the rock face and ended with a church on the plateau. In the noonday sun, the church steeple had been the first thing Alicia had seen glimmering in the horizon as she had flown over the Senbu Desert two days ago. As her plane soared over it, the desert ended and a lush valley of farmland opened up before her. She zoomed over the patchwork of farms and eventually landed at the foot of the mountainside village.
She was the first traveler in months for these people. A mother and her gaggle of children had approached her first — the youngest, a yellow haired girl with crooked teeth, gave her a charm, a small four-leaf clover she picked from a tuft of grass. An elderly couple had offered Alicia food and lodgings for her stay in return for news of the world beyond their vertical village. On the first night, Alicia was the guest of honor at the church festival. They sang hymns, danced to flute music, and feasted on the plumpest pigs and chickens Alicia had ever seen.
The next day, she explored the town on her own. Alicia weaved her way up and down the inclined streets admiring the engineering that went into the town's architecture. Buildings looked as if they were chiseled out of the rock. These people lived with nature instead of destroying it. In her journal, Alicia opened her journal and drew the view of the farms from the cliff.
A strange whirling noise passed across Alicia's back. She jerked her head to the side and caught the sight of a boy with a basket. He marched like a toy soldier going down the street. She studied each rigid step and scrutinized the back of his head. Did his skin look somewhat paler than everyone else's? The boy stopped at a cart, produced a list for the shopkeeper, and stood by silently to receive his wares. After he paid, the boy raised his arm and waved it side to side before marching away.
As the boy approached the next cart, several rowdy children ran by and bumped into it. A support beam holding a rack of pumpkins snapped and the shelf collapsed.
"Watch out!" Alicia called. She tucked her journal back into her jacket and weaved her way through the throng of people shopping in the market district. She broke through the crowd, but by then most of them were gawking at the sight of the boy laying on his back with his legs making a walking motion in the air. The pumpkin that hit the boy's head was smashed open and bleeding seeds. "Are you hurt?" she asked him. "Is there a doctor here?" She called to the crowd.
"Oy, who's gonna pay for that pump-" The cart owner stooped down besides Alicia and the boy. "What's with is head?"
Alicia turned from the cart owner to the child. Her eyes widened. Inside the boy's head gears rotated and a metallic belt of bumps moved cams up and down. The whirling noise she heard earlier was louder now that it wasn't fully encased by the boy's skull. Around the wound laid brass gears and copper cogs.
"What's wrong with his legs?" Alicia recognized the yellow-haired girl's voice. When she glanced at them, the mother pushed her daughter behind her cloak. Murmurs and whispers grew amongst the bystanders.
"It's a machine like a music box or pocket watch, but he's broken now," Alicia said. She bent back over the boy and removed a cloth pouch from her belt and unrolled it on the street revealing a set of slender wrenches, tiny tuners, chisels, awls, and mallets. Taking a wrench, she probed the boy's head and with great care she slid the tool against the cams to keep them from rolling over the bumps. The boy's legs froze in mid-air. Cries of "Heretic!" rose from the stunned audience.
A small stone hit Alicia in the small of her back. She yelped. Another stone hit her on her arm. "Stop!" She cried. She drew her luger and raised it against the crowd. Several more townsfolk had rocks in their hands ready to launch them.
"Stay your distance! Lower your weapons!" An elderly man forced his way through the crowd with his cane. Alicia recognized him as the husband of the couple that she was staying at. He approached the boy and tapped his cane against his chest. "My child," he said turning to Alicia. "I know you mean well, but allow us to take care of this."
"What will you do to him?" She said lowering her gun.
"It. We will destroy it. All the works of the Devil must be destroyed."
"Where I come from scientists and philosophers believe the human body is nothing more than an intricate machine full of minute gears and wheels that allow us to live. If I'm no longer welcome here, let me take him with me!" The yellow-hair girl began to cry and latched onto her mother's side.
"Very well," the elderly man said after a long pause. A ruckus of cries and yells bellowed from the surrounding people. "Silence! You will obey your elders just as it says in the scriptures! Allow her to pass. I shall walk with her." Alicia picked up the boy and all the mechanical parts laying around him she could find. She bought a tarp from a nearby cart and wrapped the boy's body and slung it over her shoulder. Before Alicia left the market, she crouched down by the yellow-haired girl and plucked the clover from her pocket and held it out for her. The girl swiped it from her hand and crushed it in her fist. Alicia smiled anyway. "Goodbye," she said.
The elderly man guided her back to her plane. His wife had brought her suitcase to the plane already. She frowned and bid Alicia adieu. Alicia laid the boy in the plane's trunk and buckled him down.
When the elderly man was alone with her he said to her: "There was once a great inventor that lived in this town. He was a watchmaker. A master of the craft. He build more and more complex watches and toy dolls that drew pictures and danced to ditties. Now, he is beyond the farmlands hidden away in the forest never allowed to return here."
"Thank you." Alicia climbed into her cockpit and closed the canopy. She saluted the man, turned the plane around, and took off into the clear blue sky.

NYSE Liffe - Universal Trading Platform (UTP) - Matching Engine (ME) Financials Live Migration Update
NYSE Technologies would like to provide clients with an update on behalf of NYSE Liffe who recently confirmed that the migration of all Equities contracts to UTP had been completed successfully. With that migration now completed, the focus shifts to the migration of the Financials and Commodities contracts to UTP. The Financials contract migration will follow the same staged migration approach as with Equities, but will be spread over 5 migrations stages, as opposed to 2 migration stages. The migration stages for Financials will be: * Stage 1 – 10 September 2012 * Stage 2 – 24 September 2012 * Stage 3 – 8 October 2012 * Stage 4 – 22 October 2012 * Stage 5 – 5 November 2012 The contracts being migrated at each stage are: * Stage 1 – All Paris Commodities; all London Universal Stock Futures; and Lisbon Stock and Index Futures * Stage 2 – All London Commodities; all Swapnote® futures and options; and all Gilt and Japanese Bond futures and options * Stage 3 – Euro Swiss Franc futures and options; all London Index futures and options; and all Paris Index futures and options * Stage 4 – Short Sterling futures and options only * Stage 5 – All remaining Short Term Interest Rate futures and options Matching Engine Test Service NYSE Liffe will be listing ALL contracts on the UTP Financials Matching Engines in the CTSG Next Release environment on 5 September 2012. This will enable customers to test all contracts on UTP, ahead of either migration stage, from 6 September 2012. Customers should contact Technology Partnerships or the CTSG team if they require any test environment details. As the contracts being migrated in the first Financial stage do not utilise any functionality not already exercised in UTP Equities production it is not anticipated that customers need to undertake any additional testing for migration Stage 1. Contracts being introduced from Stage 2 onwards potentially utilise functionality not previously exercised in production UTP. This is particularly relevant to the STIRs contracts, the first of which is migrated in Stage 3. NYSE Liffe would therefore recommend that all customers utilise the test service from 6 September 2012 to extensively test the following functions, ahead of the Stage 3 migration on 8 October 2012: * Expits (Basis, Against Actual, GXT, Asset Allocation) * Expiry level DP * Batching * Simple Inter-Commodity Spreads (SICS) * Strategies (Calendars, Butterflies, Strips, Packs, Bundles) * Mid-Curve Options * Delta Neutrals with Derivative Underlying Help and Support An updated NYSE Liffe UTP Matching Engine Changes in Behaviour document (Version 7.0) can be found on the Developer Diary web-site at http://derivative.liffedeveloperdiary.if5.com/techdocs.aspx?g=1&s=7 If you require any further assistance or have any questions about UTP or the points covered in this email please contact Technology Partnerships at firstname.lastname@example.com .

Christina Aguilera is bringing out the big guns to revive her recording career — namely, Britney Spears' longtime producer.
The Voice mentor – whose 2010 Bionic album was a commercial and critical disappointment — has enlisted the help of Swedish hit-maker Max Martin to helm the first single from her upcoming album, according to Billboard magazine. The song, due in early August, is reportedly a fist-pumping club banger with a chorus that includes the line, "All I want to do is what you wanted."
Martin may be exactly what Xtina needs after Bionic sold just 308,000 copies and failed to produce a Top Ten single. In addition to producing countless Spears' tunes — including "Baby One More Time," "Till the World Ends" and "3," he also helmed all the hits from Katy Perry's Teenage Dream album, plus Pink's "Raise Your Glass," Usher's "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love" and Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You."
QG WD buzz has heard that the big guns producer thinks the fastest way to a chart topper is…. pairing these two diva mammas together on a single. That would would def be an out-of-the-park homerun for both the curvy girls in need of some Rhianna/Adele kinda' fan love. What do you think? Do you think these two fabulous females should get in the studio together and rock out a pop hit?

It'a beautiful open source graphics program that stands out for its ease of use, speed and high quality results. It's more oriented to the design and photo editing application that does not effect (if you want to apply filters and effects to your images of various kinds, used Photofiltre or GIMP). Allows the drawing layers (layers), has unlimited levels of undo and a number of tools for freehand drawing.
If you draw or manual retouching of images, it is absolutely recommended.
It also available in Italian localization of all the latest versions, just go here (last page for version 3.20 and 3.22 beta). It simply unzip the file you will download in the root folder of Paint.Net, and the next time you will also be included among the Italian, the languages available.
It's a free Microsoft program that allows you to create panoramic pictures with ease. And in fact, fully automatic (though you should number the photos properly), and requires no special effort or knowledge by the user.
It with a wonderful preview, which allows you to have a pretty good idea of the final result. The quality of the resulting panoramic images is excellent, just a pity that in some cases (at least among the tests I did) there was a slight burr in the joints between the pictures (while the preview was absolutely perfect).
Overall, however, is very good, especially for beginners.

THURSDAY, Jan. 24 (HealthDay News) -- Dung beetles use the Milky Way galaxy to figure out which way to roll their dung balls, a new study shows.
Previous research has shown that some other animals use stars for orientation, but the dung beetle is the first animal proven to use the galaxy, according to the scientists from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa.
Dung beetles' eyes are too weak to identify individual constellations in the Milky Way. Instead, they use the gradient of light to dark provided by the galaxy to ensure they keep rolling their balls in a straight line and don't circle back to their competitors at the dung pile, the researchers explained.
"The dung beetles don't care which direction they're going in; they just need to get away from the bun fight at the poo pile," study author Marcus Byrne said in a university news release.
The research is published in the Jan. 24 issue of the journal Current Biology.
Byrne and his colleagues previously found that dung beetles use the sun, the moon and polarized light for orientation. They also discovered that the beetles climb on top of their dung balls to locate light sources for orientation.
The researchers believe that dung beetles prefer certain light sources for orientation. If the moon and Milky Way are visible at the same time, the beetles likely use one rather than the other.

The San Diego Zoo has more about dung beetles.

OOC Link: http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...di-Academy-OOC
Introduction -
Towards the end of 14 ABY, the New Jedi Order suffered tremendous losses in their battle with the Dark Jedi cult, the 'Disciples of Ragnos'. Even though the cult was defeated, and Marka Ragnos never returned to the mortal world, this was still a loss on the Jedi side. A young man named Jaden Korr was a very promising student at the Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4, and later rose to the rank of Jedi Knight. But the pull of the Dark Side led him to slay his fellow Jedi in his bid to gain more power. After he cut through quite literally everyone on Korriban in the final battle against the DoR, he defeated his old Master Kyle Katarn, took Ragnos' Scepter and fled the planet, taking command of the rest of the Imperial Remnant and survivors of the DoR cult. After that, nobody knew where the Dark Jedi went, or what he planned on doing... Kyle Katarn left the Academy to search for his lost student, and hasn't been heard from for two years.
Now, the year is 16 ABY. After the losses suffered at Korriban, Luke Skywalker and two surviving Jedi Masters decided to bring in one last batch of new force-sensitive students. It's surprising that nobody attacked while the Jedi were more or less beaten - but Skywalker couldn't argue with that. With the arrival of the new students, hope can be restored to the galaxy once again. But will these new Jedi survive? Can they remain on the path of the Light during this struggle to bring the New Jedi Order back to full strength?
...Our story begins on a New Republic shuttle bound for Yavin 4.
"Attention, passengers. We will be entering the atmosphere of the moon shortly, which means there will be little turbulence. It should be nothing to worry about, but strapping yourselves in is advisable. You'll be at the Praxeum within at least ten minutes." The pilot announced over the intercom.
Space travel was a very exciting new experience for one of the passengers. A cheerful looking girl with shoulder-length red hair and blue eyes had been staring out the window the whole time, silent with a slight smile... The infinite sea of stars looked magnificent. As the jungle moon came into view, Vexis Zaluna's eyes shifted to see it. Down there in that mix of mist and jungle was the Jedi Academy, where the surviving members of the New Jedi Order remained. Soon, she would become a Jedi. It didn't quite give her the idea that she'd live a free life, but because of Kyle she was willing to at least try. For someone who'd never fought or had responsibility before in their life, 'Vex' wasn't freaking out as much as she could be.
In one of the rear passenger seats of the shuttle, a young man tapped his foot impatiently. Kreidan Lozarios, who seemed very eager to get down there, start his training and go interfere in some bad guys' plans. Eagerness to learn wasn't frowned upon, but eagerness to go out into the world and fight? Perhaps one of the Jedi Masters would have to deal with that strange mentality before it became a problem. "Is anyone else hyped for this? We're all gonna become Jedi, can you believe it? Never thought my life would take a turn like this... Us lot are going to be the elite after our training." He said to nobody-in-particular, as if to just pep up the other students.

A true agnostic is someone who says that nothing can be known about God, whether as to his existence or his attributes. But as for me, there is not an iota of agnosticism in my atheism. I am a confirmed and convinced flat out atheist.
Anthony Jordan knows what an agnostic is.
"A true agnostic is someone who says that nothing can be known about God, whether as to his existence or his attributes."
Wait a minute. That means an agnostic can be a theist doesn't it? After all, most Christians agree that the omnipotence of god cannot be comprehended, his almighty aspect blinding to perception, his essence unknowable to mere mortals.
That's why theists then engage faith.
By your definition of what an agnostic is, you can therefore be an agnostic Christian.
I know of no Christian who would disagree with someone who says "I can't 'know' God, but I have faith in His existence and in his words".
You still can't be an agnostic atheist since once you reject faith in the existence of a god, the "knowability" or "unknowability" of god is irrelevant. Meaningless. Immaterial. Purposeless to even contemplate.
If you are deeply committed to agnosticism, visit the "Agnostic Nexus" website. There you can participate in the futile navel gazing of "not knowing".
Asa, futile navel gazing?
I like my navel and enjoy the time I spend gazing at it.
About Anthony's definition, though it's close to the definition in NOAD (New Oxford American), his use of the word "true" awakens my inner skeptic.
If you'll notice, I did not take exception to the definition. I take exception to "agnostic" being used as an adjective to describe a "type" of atheism . . . a use that I find patently absurd.
You are right, however. I should not have used the term "your definition" as if he had come up with it. I do, though, assume he embraces that definition since he cited it.
I think Anthony's is a pretty good definition of imaginary beings we refer to as "agnostics". We define a unicorn as a "horned horse, usually white", but that doesn't mean there are actual unicorns.
And I assume your "inner skeptic" was awakened some time ago, otherwise you probably wouldn't be here at A/N.
And, while I am sure there is something to it, I just don't spend a lot of time navel gazing since I learned the reason it is there.
(I'm not entirely convinced, however, that my cat has a navel.)
Asa, you stirred my "inner writer" and the other folks in my writing group will soon read of my several "inners".
Catholicism's indoctrination created an inner believer and much later an inner skeptic. The latter spoke up a few times but the former knocked him down. A remark by my mom wrecked my inner believer and, like the tiny mammals after the asteroid knocked out the dinosaurs, my inner skeptic prospered. And more....
Thanks; I'm going to have some fun at my keyboard.
Your cat's navel? Cats let us feed them and refresh their litter boxes; do they find us worthy of navel displays?
While I believe that agnosticism, agnostic theism, and agnostic atheism are real phenomena (I've met some from all three categories), I find these positions untenable. There is enough logical, philosophical, and physical evidence to unequivocally state that there is no omnibenevolent God, and anything less, if there be such a thing, is unworthy of the title of God. Maybe agnostics of all three positions are trying to hedge their bets, I don't know.
And it remains that the agnostic atheist must still have to say whether, though being agnostic about God, he nonetheless personally doesn't believe in God, in which case he would still qualify as an implicit atheist.
As for me, I'm all the way atheist. Nothing implicit in my atheism. I fall under the category of explicit atheist.
This is what I believe. When you die, what made you you, your personality, your uniqueness, your thoughts, hopes, fears, dreams, and aspirations, are no more. Your body will begin to decompose and finally dissolve into the soil and become nutrients for plants and the insects that feed on their nectar and carry their pollen to fertilize other plants, and for the animals that feed on the plants also. Then when your body reduces down to the atoms and subatomic particles that made up your body, sometime somewhere, someone will drink a cup of water that contains an atom or two from what used to be you. Someone will breathe in an atom of what used to be you. The atoms that made up your body will become one with the universe, and in that sense alone will anything be left of you. That's why what you do in this life must be made to count for something. Leave something behind for people to remember you...good memories of you, writings, blogs, good deeds of kindness, etc.
Alex, what do you aspire to know more of?
If you will tell what you believe happens after death, I will tell what I believe happens after death.
What do you find interesting?
I wouldn't mind being able to turn into the Hulk whenever I needed to. The Hulk is my favorite Superhero, always has been.

The Golf Garden of Destin fosters putt-putt delight and club-flailing fun in a family-friendly atmosphere replete with a nine-hole executive golf course, expansive driving range, and 18-hole miniature golf course. Golfers can groom their putting stroke with a round at the putting course, where slick, faux-grass surfaces and subtle slopes coalesce to create breaks more difficult to read than a kindergartener's dissertation. The outdoor driving range keeps metal clubs and dimpled orbs on a collision course well into the evening with over 30 hitting stalls outfitted with towering lights. Duffers looking for a more immersive golf challenge can take to the executive course, where seven par 3s beckon to players still seeking their first hole-in-one and two par 4s assure that drivers and 3-woods do not abscond in search of work at the nearest sword-forging convention.
At Riviera Fitness Center, a team of personal trainers helps guests achieve fitness goals via the facility's huge selection of workout equipment. The gym boasts a variety of free weights and more than 50 cardio machines, as well as separate studios for spinning, Zumba dance fitness, and boxing classes.
Pirate's Island Adventure Golf welcomes land-loving children, adults, and seniors for a high-seas putting adventure. Pirate ships, dungeons, caves, and waterfalls adorn the two 18-hole courses of challenging angles and tricky terrain. Play all 36 holes with this all-day pass for multiple chances to win the ultimate hidden treasure—mini-golf bragging rights to lord over your family, colleagues, or date. Experienced club swingers can practice their short game while novice putters can strive for that elusive hole-in-one or the zen-meditation exercise of the hole-in-none.
Although true time travel is still a thing of science fiction, Teddy and Jenny Meeks have captured a similar sensation at Pier Park. In 2009, the couple purchased the 1964 Allan Herschell Carousel that had been an iconic attraction at the now-closed Miracle Strip Amusement Park. The 30 horses and two chariots were immediately swarmed with giddy riders—some children, and some adults who fondly remembered feeding the horses wooden apples at the carousel's former home. The spinning steeds so charmed the locals that Teddy and Jenny began a more comprehensive revival. They bought Miracle Strip's 1985 Balloon Race and 1952 Red Baron rides, and when they couldn't find the park's original 1975 Ferris wheel, they hunted for one of the same make and model.
The Big Eli wheel now awards its guests views over the Gulf of Mexico and several other classic rides, including a Tilt-a-Whirl and train cars that kids crank by hand. Flowers cloak hanging baskets, and topiaries mimicking animal figures accent sandy paths, adding to the venue's picturesque nostalgia. Teddy and Jenny have also installed a butterfly pavilion, about which Bay Life magazine reports that visitors can glimpse 700 flying specimens, hatching cocoons, and caterpillars drawing up blueprints for wings.
S.E.A. Chase Watersports outfits oceanic explorers with kayaks and pontoon boats for leisurely exploration of Destin's waterfront. Nestled under a pontoon's shade, instructors teach guests go over Emerald Coast boating rules. They then allow customers to set sail or kayak, cruising through the Choctawhatchee Bay to Crab Island, Noriega Point, or past Poseidon's luxury yacht. Guests with fishing licenses and their own gear can rent the 18-foot pontoon boat, which is replete with fishing holders and a live well.
The PADI-certified instructors at Panama City Dive Charters run their classes with a focus on the heart of scuba diving-fun and adventure-while keeping safety and each student's diving success as the primary goals. With online courses as well as pool and open-water instruction available, the team prepares divers to explore the region's aquatic splendor, such as Vortex Spring and Morrison Springs. The squad also arranges adventuresome ocean-scuba-diving trips and spearfishing outings during which divers kick through crystal-clear waters to hunt treasure, catch dinner, and play Go Fish with the local mermaids.
Xtreme Skydivers yokes each leapster to an experienced instructor who guides them through the ups and downs of tandem sky-scaling, and ensures that parachutes deploy at the right time for safe landings. Thrill seekers don jump suits, tie their teachers to their backs, and hop aboard an 18-person Grand Caravan airplane that shuttles them 14,500 feet into the sky. When conditions permit, the teacher-student tandem tumbles through cloud caves, screams hello to beachgoers, and adds emoticons to skywriting before landing delicately on a soft bed of sand.
