The power-challenge dialectic once again courses through Araby:
In a battle reminiscent of the clashes that led to the ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak nine months ago, a mass of protesters converged on Tahrir Square, fled before an onslaught of riot police officers firing tear gas and rubber bullets, and then surged back to retake and hold the square through the early hours of Sunday.
State media reported that more than 650 people had been injured, including 40 riot police officers, and at least one civilian was killed.
Coming a day after a huge Islamist demonstration and just more than a week before the first post-Mubarak parliamentary elections, the outpouring of anger was the strongest rebuke yet with the military's attempts to grant itself permanent governmental powers. And it was a reuniting of Islamist and liberal protest movements that had drifted apart since the early days of the uprising…
After pledging to turn over power to civilians by September, the military has postponed the handover until after the ratification of a constitution and election of a president, sometime in 2013 or later. Then this month the military-led government put in writing a set of ground rules for a next constitution that would have given the military authority to intervene in civilian politics while protecting it from civilian oversight — setting off a firestorm.
It's not over yet, not by a long shot.

Treating asthma in children under 5
Asthma in children under 5: Asthma symptoms and treatments can be different from those in older children.
By Mayo Clinic staffMost children with asthma develop symptoms before age 5. There are a number of conditions that can cause asthma-like symptoms in young children. But if your child's symptoms are caused by asthma, early diagnosis is important. Asthma treatment in children improves day-to-day breathing, reduces asthma flare-ups and helps reduce other problems caused by asthma.
Asthma in children varies by age group. Infants, toddlers and 4-year-olds are diagnosed and treated differently than teens and adults are. Asthma in children also varies from child to child, and symptoms may get better or worse at certain times. In some children, asthma symptoms improve with age.
Asthma can't be cured, but you can keep symptoms at a minimum by using a written asthma action plan you develop with your child's doctor to track symptoms and adjust treatment.
Asthma symptoms in children under 5
Common asthma symptoms in children under 5 include:
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Trouble breathing
- Chest pain
- Recurring bronchitis
Some children have few day-to-day symptoms, but have severe asthma attacks now and then. Other children have persistent mild symptoms or symptoms that get worse with activity or other triggers such as cigarette smoke or seasonal allergies.
- If your child is an infant, you may notice slow feeding or shortness of breath during feeding.
- If your child is a toddler or older, you may notice a decreased desire to run and play due to breathlessness. Your son or daughter may become fatigued easily and cough when exercising.
- For many children under age 5, asthma attacks are triggered or worsened by colds and other respiratory infections. You may notice that your child's colds last longer than they do in other children, or that signs and symptoms include frequent coughing that may get worse at night.
Asthma emergencies
For some children, severe asthma attacks can be life-threatening and require emergency room treatment. Signs and symptoms of an asthma emergency in children under 5 years old include:
- Gasping for air
- Trying so hard to breathe that the abdomen is sucked under the ribs when he or she breathes in
- Trouble speaking because of restricted breathing
Tests to diagnose and monitor asthma in young children
Diagnosing asthma can be tricky in young children. Wheezing, coughing and other asthma-like symptoms can occur with conditions other than asthma, such as viral infections. For this reason, it may not be possible to make a definite diagnosis of asthma until your child is older.
For older children and adults, doctors can use breathing tests (lung function tests) such as spirometry or peak flow measurement. As your child gets older, these tests may be used to help pinpoint an asthma diagnosis and track how well treatment's working. Generally, children under age 5 aren't able to do these tests.
Your child's doctor may be able to check for inflammation in your child's airways with a test that measures levels of nitric oxide gas in the breath. In general, higher levels of nitric oxide mean your child's lungs aren't working as well as they should be, and asthma isn't under control.
Asthma treatment in young children
If your child's asthma symptoms are severe, your family doctor or pediatrician may refer your child to see an asthma specialist.
Your child's doctor will want your child to use just the right amount and type of medication needed to control his or her asthma. This will help prevent side effects. Based on your record of how well your child's current medications seem to control asthma symptoms, your child's doctor may "step up" treatment to a higher dose or add another medication. If your child's asthma is well controlled, the doctor may "step down" treatment by reducing your child's medications. This is known as the stepwise approach to asthma treatment.
Certain medications aren't specifically approved for use in children by the Food and Drug Administration, but the doctor may prescribe them based on his or her judgment of what's likely to work best for your child.
Long-term control medications
Known as maintenance medications, these are generally taken every day on a long-term basis to control persistent asthma. These medications may be used seasonally if your child's asthma symptoms become worse during certain times of the year.
Types of long-term control medications include:
- Inhaled corticosteroids are the most common medications for asthma, and the ones proved to work best in younger children. These anti-inflammatory drugs include fluticasone (Flovent), budesonide (Pulmicort), triamcinolone (Azmacort), flunisolide (Aerobid) and beclomethasone (Qvar).
- Leukotriene modifiers, such as montelukast (Singulair), are considered a secondary addition to treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. In rare cases, leukotriene modifiers have been linked to psychological reactions such as agitation, aggression, hallucinations, depression and suicidal thinking. Seek medical advice right away if your child has any unusual psychological reaction.
- Cromolyn may help prevent mild to moderate asthma attacks. Cromolyn needs to be taken two to four times a day and is usually taken along with an inhaled corticosteroid.
- Theophylline is a daily pill that opens the airways (bronchodilator). It relaxes the muscles around the airways to make breathing easier. This medication is not used as often now as in past years.
- Combination inhalers. These medications contain an inhaled corticosteroid plus a long-acting beta agonist (LABA). They include Advair (fluticasone and salmeterol), Symbicort (budesonide and formoterol) and Dulera (mometasone and formoterol). In some situations, long-acting beta agonists have been linked to severe asthma attacks. For this reason, LABA medications should only be given to children when they are combined with a corticosteroid in a combination inhaler.
Quick-relief 'rescue' medications
These medications — called short-acting bronchodilators — provide immediate relief of asthma symptoms and effects last four to six hours. The most commonly used short-acting bronchodilator for asthma is albuterol. Others include pirbuterol and levalbuterol. But, while these medications work quickly, they can't keep your child's symptoms from coming back. If your child has frequent or severe symptoms, he or she will need to take a long-term control medication such as an inhaled corticosteroid.
Your child's asthma is not under control if he or she often needs to use a quick-relief inhaler. Relying on a quick-relief inhaler to control symptoms puts your child at risk for a severe asthma attack and is a sign that your child needs to see the doctor about making treatment changes. Track the use of quick-relief medications, and share the information with your child's doctor at every visit.
Immunotherapy for allergy-induced asthma
Allergy-desensitization shots (immunotherapy) may help if your child has allergic asthma that can't be easily controlled by avoiding asthma triggers. Your child will begin with skin tests to determine which allergy-causing substances (allergens) may trigger asthma symptoms. Once your child's asthma triggers are identified, he or she will get a series of injections containing small doses of those allergens. Your son or daughter will probably need injections once a week for a few months, then once a month for a period of three to five years. Your child's allergic reactions and asthma symptoms should gradually diminish.
Medication delivery devices
Most asthma medications are given with a device that allows a child to breathe medication directly into the lungs. Your child's medication may be delivered with one of these devices:
- Metered dose inhaler. Small hand-held devices, metered dose inhalers are a common delivery method for asthma medication. Along with his or her inhaler, your child will probably also need a hollow tube (spacer) with a mouthpiece. If your child is younger than 4 years old, he or she may need a face mask. This device attaches to the spacer and delivers medication while your son or daughter breathes normally.
- Dry powder inhaler. For certain asthma medications, your child may have a dry powder inhaler. This device is not generally used in children younger than 4 years old, as it requires a deep, rapid inhalation to get the full dose of medication.
- Nebulizer. A nebulizer turns medications into a fine mist your child breathes in through a face mask. A nebulizer can deliver larger doses of medications into the lungs than an inhaler can. Young children often need to use a nebulizer because it's difficult or impossible for them to use other inhaler devices.
Asthma control: Steps for children under age 5
Managing your child's asthma can seem like an overwhelming responsibility. Following these steps makes it a lot easier.
Learn about asthma
A critical part of managing your child's asthma is learning exactly what steps to take on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. It's also important that you understand the purpose of each part of monitoring and treatment. You and your child, as well as caretakers (such as child care providers and preschool teachers) need to:
- Understand the different types of medications for asthma and how they work
- Learn to recognize and record signs and symptoms of worsening asthma
- Know what to do when your child's asthma gets worse
Track symptoms with a written plan
A written asthma action plan is an important tool to let you know how well treatment is working, based on your child's symptoms. With your child's doctor, create a written asthma action plan that outlines the steps needed to manage your child's asthma. You and your child's caretakers (such as child care providers and preschool teachers) should have a copy of the plan. The plan can help you:
- Track how often your child has asthma flare-ups (exacerbations)
- Judge how well medications are controlling symptoms
- Note any medication side effects
- Check how well your child's lungs are working with a hand-held device called a peak flow meter (when your child is old enough to use it)
- Measure how much your child's symptoms affect normal activities such as play and sleep
- Adjust medications when symptoms get worse
- Know when to see a doctor or seek emergency care
Many asthma plans use a "stoplight" system of green, yellow and red zones that correspond to worsening symptoms. This system can help you quickly determine asthma severity and identify signs of an asthma attack. Some asthma plans use a symptoms questionnaire called the Asthma Control Test (ACT) to measure asthma severity over the past month.
Make changes and see the doctor when necessary
Effective asthma treatment requires tracking how well medications are working on an ongoing basis — and knowing what to do when they're not working. You'll need to:
- Work with the doctor to determine what types and doses of medications are most effective
- Adjust your child's medications according to the asthma action plan you worked out with your child's doctor
- Watch for side effects such as irritability, shaking, trouble sleeping or excitability, and report them to your child's doctor
Control asthma triggers
Taking steps to help your child avoid triggers is an important part of controlling asthma. Asthma triggers vary from child to child. Work with your child's doctor to identify triggers and steps you can take to help your child avoid them. Common asthma triggers include:
- Colds or other respiratory infections
- Allergens such as dust mites or pollen
- Pet dander
- Exercise
- Cold weather
- Cigarette smoke and other irritants in the air
- Severe heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux or GERD)
The key to asthma control: Stick to the plan
Following and updating your child's asthma action plan is the key to keeping asthma under control. Carefully track your child's asthma symptoms, and make medication changes as soon as they're needed. If you act quickly, your child is less likely to have a severe attack, and he or she won't need as much medication to control symptoms. With careful asthma management, your child should be able to avoid flare-ups and minimize disruptions caused by asthma.

Loading... Infinite Jest (original 1996; edition 2006)by David Foster Wallace
Work detailsInfinite Jest by David Foster Wallace (1996)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. Imagine George R.R. Martin watched Pulp Fiction and wanted to bring a similarly tangled, non-chronological narrative to Song of Ice and Fire-length. Now imagine he set it in the tennis academies and halfway houses of post-apocalyptic Boston. Now imagine he was obsessed with adverbs (especially "complexly"). Now imagine he was incapable of imagining an interaction between two or more people that consisted of anything other than each character completely ignoring the others while spouting exposition at frantic paces. Now imagine that instead of finishing out the seven-book series, he petered out after the first two installments. Infinite Jest is the result. I think this book is the crowning achievement of the last quarter of the 20th century. I usually hate post-modernism, but this creates a whole original world out of discarded parts. Beautiful. I actually took a whole class on this book in college. I have two copies -- one hardcover signed by the author and one paperback full of my notes in the margins. I also have two notebooks full of notes as well, and several wordy English papers. I'm always meaning to read it again, without studying it so hard, and see what that changes, but it's always been an important book for me. Even the title of my Livejournal blog is a quotation from this book (Trapped Inside My Huge Chattering Head). I remember not thinking I could review this book the first time I read it. This time around I am still not sure I can do it (especially in light of the many wonderful reviews already written) but I am gonna give it a shot. I don't know what the fuck I was thinking giving this book only a four star rating. Since finishing this book a few years ago I've considered IJ one of the greatest books I've ever read. Prior to September 12th, 2008 I hadn't been affected by the death of a public figure, celebrity or musician. Though I still remember hearing the news of Kurt Cobain's death my reaction was tepid compared to those around me. DFW's death hurt, it felt like something was stolen from each one of us, and the world was much worse off. What's funny is that this was my reaction prior to reading IJ. Thank christ it didn't happen after. So yeah, this is going to be my review, I will update it as I progress through my second reading talking about god-knows-what. I had the pleasure of going to the UofA for grad school so I will be sure to include pictures and anecdotes as they arise about Tucson and Phoenix as I come across them in the book. For example, here is the administration building on the UA campus where (presumably) the opening scenes take place: If you are/were a student at UA you probably don't find trips to this building fun. In fact, the amount of paperwork I had to deal with there could have appeared in The Pale King. What strikes me the most about this second read through is how much different the book feels. No longer do I feel that the book is a major challenge to be conquered. It feels so much more alive and playful. Whole passages seem to have changed. Clennette and Wardine's scene (page 35) seemed tortuously long on initial reading but now felt much shorter and much easier. I've also noticed some connections between characters and plot lines that would have been impossible to catch in one reading. Any time spent not re-reading this book (which is the majority of my time, damn you Library!) feels like a waste of time. I've even gone as far as to cut social interaction short so I can return to the book if only for 20 minutes before falling asleep at night. More later... I'm pretty much always reading Infinite Jest. Hopefully it never ends.
[I]t is, in a word, terrible. Other words I might use include bloated, boring, gratuitous, and – perhaps especially – uncontrolled. I would, in fact, go so far as to say that Infinite Jest is one of the very few novels for which the phrase 'not worth the paper it's written on' has real meaning in at least an ecological sense [...] I resent the five weeks of my life I gave over to it; I resent every endlessly over-elaborated gag in the book. If Mr. Wallace were less talented, you would be inclined to shoot him -- or possibly yourself -- somewhere right around page 480 of ''Infinite Jest.'' In fact, you might anyway. Alternately tedious and effulgent [...] What makes all this almost plausible, and often pleasurable, is Mr. Wallace's talent -- as a stylist, a satirist and a mimic -- as well as his erudition, which ranges from the world of street crime to higher mathematics. While there are many uninteresting pages in this novel, there are not many uninteresting sentences. "Somewhere in the mess, the reader suspects, are the outlines of a splendid novel, but as it stands the book feels like one of those unfinished Michelangelo sculptures: you can see a godly creature trying to fight its way out of the marble, but it's stuck there, half excavated, unable to break completely free."

Cause we all get the urge to pig out sometimes
Are you fed up with all of the rules and regulations of daily dieting? While I don't recommend abandoning your diet just yet, I do give you permission to take the day off on International No Diet Day, celebrated each year on May 6. The point of this day is not to promote unhealthy eating habits, but instead to celebrate the beauty and diversity of all of the natural sizes and shapes of the human body.
There are plenty of ways to celebrate No Diet Day, and some pretty good reasons to celebrate in the first place. However, the Council on Size & Weight Discrimination says that the number one reason to drop your diet for a day is that "learning to love and accept yourself just as you are will give you self-confidence, better health, and a sense of well-being that will last a lifetime." I agree. Now where did I stash that chocolate?

By Ryan Clark | July 11, 2010 | Comments
-- The mystery woman on the motorcycle at the TNA Victory Road PPV was the returning Tara (formerly Victoria in WWE). She is now officially back with the company.
-- Trish Stratus threw out the first pitch at today's Toronto Blue Jays game.
-- Shane Carwin spoke out about his loss to Brock Lesnar last Sunday at UFC 116 and blamed the loss on 'Lactic Acidosis'. According to Carwin, it was brought on by a few things and mainly not breathing while exerting energy.

i don't know what to say…
February 7, 2008 at 6:08 am 2 comments
well, its been a good few months in kenya so far. but unfortunately now its all over. Peace Corps has decided to suspend the program in kenya at least until may, at which point they will reassess the security situation. for me this means i will be flying home to Connecticut friday, arriving saturday.
life in kenya is really hard, but leaving this life is the hardest thing i have done yet.
my mind is racing at all times of day and night. i can't seem to wrap my brain around the fact that i will become a returned peace corps volunteer (RPCV) 22 months earlier than i expected. i had just began teaching and coaching volleyball, i felt like i had made a few great friends and was feeling very comfortable with my enviornment and work. it took some time to integrate and be accepted, now i feel like as soon as i did that, i am leaving. there was a lot to do, and so much more in kenya that i was looking forward to, now it seems like those goals and dreams may never be realized.
the peace corps staff is split in opinions of what will happen, some believe that this violence and insecurity will end soon and by may we will be able to return. others, who i am incined to agree with, believe that these problems are not election issues, but deep rooted tribal problems, there is no quick fix, there is no comprimise. as much as i hope kofi annan has some tricks up his sleeve to save this country, he is only a man. it will take time and devine intervention to save kenya.
if this is it for me in kenya, i still see value to my time here. i have learned so much about the world, myself, and kenya. my views of some thins really have changed and i would recommend that every american go somewhere where electricity, water and a stable government are not taken for granted. americans can learn a lot. my only regrets are that i took in so much and gave so little back. i planned on helping the people i lived with for two years, and instead was given two days notice that i would be leaving. its hard to do, but i will never forget the things i have learned, or the people i have met.

Dear Bob,
You are sad to leave, I understand, but realize that you have seen more in 5 months than most people see in a lifetime. As I told your mom, I am sure that this dream is only "on hold". There is a world full of people that need the kind of help you can offer, but I do think that in time, you will return to Africa. I do hope so.
Know that God does know what He is doing, and as Papa would have said, "things happen for a reason".
We are ALL proud of your nobility, courage and determination. I will never believe that the people whose lives you touched are not richer for having known you.
Barb -
Jambo Bob! My name is Gretta and I'm a RPCV Kenya 95-97. I'm sorry your PC experience was cut short. What a tragedy has befallen Kenya. My RPCV friend Mary Anne and I have developed a project that promotes peace and unity amongst Kenyas and a unique way and also gives friends of kenya a great way to pass along their hopes for a peaceful Kenya. I hope you can check out our website at:
Of course, we would also love to see the link passed along to as many other people as possible.
If it is inappropriate for me to approach you through your blog, I apologize, but we are anxious to contact former PCVs from Kenya in any way possible. Thanks so much and best of luck to you!

So with in light of the new complicated Weather Machine system which automatically changes the weather based on preset probabilities and the lack of an extensive and updated Help Guide as of yet, I figure people were wondering on what the probabilities exactly were. This is mainly being posted for the community's sake so they can perhaps suggest some tweaks on the proportions and such.
If you want to play around with it without the need of hosting, here's a desktop version I made a while back which uses the exact same system as RPU's: https://sites.google.com/site/rpgdreamtools/rpgtools/ weathermachine
For those not really willing to install something they don't trust (understandably), I'll directly post the most updated proportions here.

Up on Etsy now! Limited supply of only men's medium. This was my first time printing t-shirts so some of these may have small errors or small spots of ink on areas of the shirt. Prices are reduced for that reason. Funds will be used to create a larger run with a full range of sizes. (at etsy.com/shop/beetlebuy)
I don't like using watermarks but when I create work specifically for printing they are kind of important.

A few people have asked about buying prints but I haven't replied since I've been trying to figure out the best way to ship. If you're interested in any of these prints comment here and I will get back to you. The top two are $10 and the other four are $5. Shipping will probably be around $2-3. These are all hand printed, not digitally printed.

The Tanto
The tanto was a small, rarely used knife. It was mostly carried by the Samurai, and a few other people. Some women carried tantos for self defence againts harmful animals or dangerous people. Before the 16th century, it was common for a Samurai to carry a tachi, which was another type of sword, and a tanto, instead of the the katana and the wakizashi. Ninjas favored the tanto because it was lightweight and was used for assassination.

Churches Adopt Adoption
In 1962, my parents picked up a 3-month-old boy from a Minneapolis children's home. Instead of a shower or welcoming committee, they came home to silence and sideways looks. They were adopting at a time when the decision was considered a response to an epic reproductive failure, something not discussed in polite company.
And then there was the baby. At just three months, my older brother showed signs of institutionalization. My mother remembers how he lay in her arms like a board, never able to snuggle. Psychologists were only beginning to form theories on attachment disorder, and no one, including my parents, fully understood how even a few months without parental nurture can impact a child.
Thank God that attitudes about adoption are changing.
The Christian Alliance for Orphans (CAO) held its sixth annual summit on orphan care this April at Grace Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Featuring keynote addresses from John Piper, Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman, and Al Mohler, the summit drew more than 1,200 attendees, most of them ministering to orphans through their home churches. Watching those gathered, I knew this was not my parents' generation.
What the State Can't Do
Jedd Medefind, president of the Virginia-based CAO, says his organization wants to encourage care for orphans worldwide through adoption, foster care, and orphan care. A nebulous term, orphan care includes everything from funding children's homes in countries with large numbers of orphans to holding shoe drives for children in orphanages. CAO, with over 100 member ministries, is also starting to advocate "in-country" solutions where churches in countries with many orphans encourage and help families in their midst to adopt. "We want to build communities that are committed to families who are committed to orphans," says Medefind.
From megachurches like Saddleback Church in Orange County, California, and Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, to small congregations like First Baptist Church in Cambridge, Minnesota, U.S. churches are launching orphan care ministries, most of them lay-led. One such ministry, Tapestry, began in 2000 when a few adoption-hopeful couples at Irving Bible Church in North Texas began meeting. Launched by Michael and Amy Monroe, Tapestry has become a cultural juggernaut at Irving Bible and in the wider community. It helps adoptive families wade through the endless amounts of paperwork, home visits, and assessments, and, after a child arrives, provides education and connects families to support groups.
Ministries like the Denver-based Project 1:27 work with government agencies to place children with families and support them before and after adoption. Taking its name from James 1:27, the project, together with the Colorado Department of Human Services, is credited with helping to shrink the number of the state's children waiting to be adopted from 800 to 365 in just two years.
Tapestry's Michael Monroe notes that while local and state foster care agencies do many things efficiently, they leave gaps.
"State agencies are well-equipped to help if you have decided to move forward, but less so if you have questions about adoption," the adoptive father of four says. "Church-based ministries are best positioned to come alongside families and help them prayerfully make the best decision."
Still other ministries train foster parents, find families who can provide respite care, and keep free childcare supplies on hand for foster families. And that's just ministry to children in the U.S.

Hi Bill, Yes, absolutely. A lot of the Project 1.27 families (Colorado) are adopting black children as well as multiracial and hispanic kiddos. They have photos of adoptions up to #120 on this facebook page http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4575324&id=753741341#!/pages/Project- 127-Adoptions/323197091651?v=wall&ref=ts and you can see a lot of the happy families.
bill wald
Just curious - these people adopting any black American children?
Gaye Tannenbaum
Dear JB - In an article that promotes adoption for children living in orphanages, where do you see abortion? Especially if you believe these kids are TRUE orphans (not just "deemed" orphans) - where does abortion figure in? Nowhere. Everything that has been said against adoption here has been PRO-Family Preservation, not "pro-abortion", as you like to phrase it. Sometimes when people have that Pro-Life hammer in their hands - everything looks like it's "promoting abortion". Complaining about the "billion dollar abortion industry" while ignoring the agenda of the MULTI-billion dollar ADOPTION industry (child procurement for export) shows just how out of touch with reality you are.
Mara Rigge
Thank you for your prayers Anonymous 24. Please also pray for all the other children who have been and will be needlessly separted from their living parents who believed that they were "giving them better" when they really were just giving them away. Please also pray that families will be encouraged to keep and raise their children and receive copious monetary donations from Christians so that they can provide for their children instead of losing them to the adoption industry and it's baby pimping machine. Please also pray that no more children will have their identities erased via Amended Birth Certificates when they are adopted. Please pray that adoptive parents will insist that their adopted child's birth certificate remain unamended and truthful because no one should lose their biological identity, ethnicity and culture just to get a "forever family". God is good. Amen.
Anonymous 24
Lord, I pray for Mara right now. I pray that you would heal the scars and wounds of her past like only You can. Lord, we are sorry that her adoption, that was meant to be a reflection of You, was twisted into something evil. God, I pray that you would pour out your love and grace on her. We are so unfaithful, but God you are always faithful. In your might name we pray...Amen

This chapter is presented in three sections corresponding to three models that incorporate Bayesian explaining away between different sources. The first section considers primes and targets as potential sources without reference to time. The original ROUSE model is reformulated as a generative model, arriving at the original equations but with slightly different dependence assumptions. The second section considers a model in which past time steps explain away future times steps, thereby producing perceptual sensitivity to the onset of new objects (i.e., new events). The resultant dynamics are related to the dynamics of neural habituation in several important ways. The third section considers a model in which future time steps explain away past time steps, thereby producing sensitivity to the offset of old objects (i.e., old events). By cascading layers, a working memory system is developed that represents the temporal rank ordering of objects regardless of their specific durations (i.e., scale free sequential information).Causality in Time 3 In recent years, Bayesian models of cognition have effectively explained a wide variety of cognitive behaviors ranging from visual perception (Yuille & Kersten, 2006)

PATIALA: The CBI court in Patiala has fixed August 5 as next date for hearing the murder case of Harpreet Kaur, daughter of former SGPC chief Jagir Kaur. The court adjourned the hearing as main complainant in the case had sought exemption from personal appearance due to registration of another FIR against him in Begowal police station of Kapurthala.
"Since the main complainant in the case against Jagir Kaur, Kamaljit Singh, has not got anticipatory bail in a FIR registered at Begowal police station on July 13, he sought exemption from personal appearance. The bail application of Kamaljit will be heard on July 25 at Kapurthala sessions court," said Arun Singla, counsel for Kamaljit.

Late Wednesday, word leaked that Arizona Cardinals linebacker Daryl Washington may have been involved in a domestic dispute. Friday morning, Phoenix police confirmed Washington had been arrested and booked into jail on two counts of aggravated assault. Washington, 26, was suspended by the NFL earlier this offseason for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Washington was a Pro Bowl alternate in 2012 after finishing the season with 134 tackles and nine sacks. The former second-round pick out of TCU has tallied 319 tackles, 15 sacks and four interceptions as an Arizona Cardinal. He signed a six-year, $32 million contract extension prior to the 2012 season.

Released: December 13, 1999
Updated: Jan. 20, 2000
Centre College soccer player gets national award
DANVILLE, KY - Centre College junior Tanner Wann was one of 33 soccer players in the nation recently honored as members of the prestigious National Soccer Coaches Association 1999 All-America squad. The NSCA formally presented the All-America players earlier this month in a ceremony held in Baltimore.
Wann, a defensive specialist, was a third-team selection. The honored players were chosen from a pool of over 4,000 soccer players throughout America.
Wann helped the Colonels to a 15-4 record and an NCAA bid.
Two other Centre players, junior Jay Flynn (Somerset) and sophomore Mike Norton (Westchester, Ohio), made the third-team All-Mideast Region. The Mideast Region includes over 100 schools.
Assistant coach Jeb Burch says these three players were the backbone of the Colonels' team. "Wann transferred from Division I power SMU and became the leader of our team. We had a solid defense, and he played a major role in it. Flynn was dedicated to becoming the best player he could be and was named captain of this year's squad. He played on a semi-pro team last summer to get better. Norton has a legitimate chance of becoming an All-American; what we saw this year was a small glimpse of his potential."

We use 3D scanning technology to scan the insides of shoes. Each scan provides measurements pertinent to fitting a shoe to a foot.
It's hard to buy shoes on line due to a lack of standardization in shoe sizing. If a shopper were to order the same size in every shoe on the market, she would be wrong 45% of the time.
Tell us a shoe you own now that fits you well and we'll show you how the one you're looking to buy compares using the data we collect from measuring each shoe.

Homebrew bottle cap with schrader valve in it. |
This post will show you how to carbonate individual bottles of mead, cider, soda or homebrew beer at any residual sugar level, any carbonation level and without having to wait three extra weeks to bottle conditioning with yeast. I am not a huge fan of dry mead or cider, but I do prefer to bottle my homebrewed cider with some residual sugar leftover, so how can I leave some sugar in but carbonate in the bottle without the yeast metabolizing all of my sugar? I had written a previous post about force carbonating without a keg, but this is alot less expensive than the $20 carbonator cap at my local homebrew shop. In the past I would have to backsweeten with a juice concentrate and let the yeast add carbonation in the sealed bottle. This post will show you how by adding a schrader valve you can skip the whole bottle priming process and go straight to forced carbonation any beverage of your choice.
This technique is really geared more towards 1 gallon brewers or people who frequently make small batches. I can see how constructing enough of these for a five gallon batch would be a pain in the ass! For me though I only have to make a few for my 1 gallon homebrew batches.
To do this the internal column of a hand bottling capper must be removed with a hacksaw to make room for the schrader valve while capping. So first we remove the walls on either side of the internal column to gain access to it and then remove it with a hacksaw. You will lose the magnetic bottom of the column that helps align the cap to the bottle. I have found that if careful this piece is not needed when bottling. I found that a dremel tool or cutting wheel attached to a hand drill work best.
Homebrew bottle capper unaltered. |

Note the internal column. |
Internal column removed with hacksaw. |
Take a quarter and place the corner of a piece of rigid paper over it. Using a pencil trace over the edge of the coin:
Next cut from one edge of the paper to the other right along the bottom of the curve of the coin outline:
Next cut from one edge of the paper to the other right along the bottom of the curve of the coin outline:
Place the cut piece in a bottle cap and trim as needed until it fits perfectly inside the cap. Below is an image before I trimmed it to fit correctly:
Once trimmed, place over more paper and cut out a second triangle the exact same size. Place one atop the other and align the edges as shown. Take a piece of glue and adhere them to eachother:
Next using an exact-knife, scrap a tiny "dot" into the underside of the cap with the blade. This will be a mark to show you where to place your hole punch:
Using a step bit, drill a hole big enough to fit your schrader valve into(I used leather gloves, and so should you!). My valve was 7/16", and I think this is the correct size for the smaller outer diameter schrader valves:
Bottle cap with rough burrs. |
We will get to those burrs in a moment, first lets remove and sharpen up the hole on the underneat hside of the bottle cap:
Finally we grind down the top of the cap to remove the burrs. A grinder would be best, but I only have a sharpening stone:
Here is the burr removed. Notice there is still a small lip, this actually aids in the stability of the cap:
Finally, insert your schrader valve into the bottle cap using pliers. I like to insert it as far as it will go, then use pliers to pull it from the top through the cap. Be careful not to damage the threading with the pliers!
Here is the finished product just prior to using the bottle capper:
I set my regulator to 55psi and let sit in 38 degrees F for three weeks as a bench test:
So by now you are probably wondering if this works right? You tell me:
Removing homemade carbonator cap. |
Leave a comment!
Has anyone done anything similar to force carbonate homebrew, any thoughts on how to improve this? If so let me know!

It is the first propoganda film ever shown by force to the UN general assembly.
have you even seen it?
The film stars Vanessa Redgrave who took the opportunity in the 70′s of an Oscar speech to talk about Jewish thugs in an anti-semitic tirade.
I have seen it and already have a copy.
what is all the fuss about. its a true reflection of reality of oppressive occupier and resistance.
This movie in no way reflects facts

I did the Mesa Mod on my VK212 along with the few others listed on the end of the Amp Mods - Electronics page. The new Tone and Texture is Fantastic and sounds way much better than stock VK, However, the gain seems to be too less and feels too tight while playing. I am not getting the spongy gain feel that was there in the stock VK. Have I done any mistake or is it the way this is suppose to sound? I would love to get little bit more gain/sponginess/Sustain in the feel on the lead channel. Here are the changes that i did: Removed R122. changed R116 to 10K. changed C2 to 470pf changed R4 to 47K Removed C149 changed C103 with the cap from C149. changed R101 to 100K. Also, Removed R171 and the gain boost works fine on both channels now. |

(AP) -- The Texas Senate has begun debate on a bill allowing concealed handguns into college buildings and classrooms.
The bill lets Texas concealed handgun license holders, who must be 21 years old and pass a training course, bring their weapons on campus.
The measure has met stiff resistance from higher education officials. Supporters call it a key gun rights issue and critical self-defense measure.
Texas would become the second state, following Utah, to pass such a broad-based law. Colorado gives colleges the option and several have allowed handguns.

Introducing Dr. Jonathan V. Wright's SunPal™ and TanPal
You should be . . . given the heavy toll of skin damage associated with overexposure to UV rays. As you know, there are a lot of highly desirable activities that take place under the sun in the great outdoors. But even if you slather yourself with high-SPF sunscreen, wear UV-protective sunglasses, don a large-brimmed hat, wear long sleeve shirts, gloves, and pants, outdoor activities should be severely curtailed. To belabor the point, you could also carry a parasol, remain under an UV-proofed umbrella when you get to where you're going, and stay away from reflective surfaces such as sand. Don't you get the idea that it might be better to stay indoors?
The good news is . . . you can improve your defense, so you don't need to do all of that. Because now, you can start to supplement with skin-support nutrients. (Did you even know that they existed?)
Dr. Jonathan V. Wright has been giving sun protection a lot of thought and come up with two wide-spectrum skin-support supplement formulations, containing powerful antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, herbs, and a special amino acid that can give you a truly extraordinary protective edge.* So the sun needn't be your enemy, but instead can become, say, a more enduring friend, so that you can enjoy outdoor activities without all the fear.
SunPal sports all the latest science-determined nutrients found to offer significant skin support, while TanPal proffers safer tanning support.*
If it's from Dr. Wright, you can be sure it's cutting-edge and science-based. So go ahead and enjoy the outdoors again this summer, and every time you're outside.†
†Don't forget to use a good sunscreen. Even though sunshine is good, too much is not!
Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules three times daily with meals.
Other Ingredients: Gelatin capsule.

I do not wish to fear the worst so I will hold onto what he said, that he would be gone.
I am not a church going man but I have the friends and families of those that are still missing on my mind. I don't know the pain that they are going through but I do know the pain that I feel and I do not directly know anyone that is missing.
I am sad because what has happened and I am sad for what is likely to follow.
It seems that the world has gone mad---JigSaw
sorry my thoughts are even more confused then normal and it causes me to babble a bit
Anyhow, I have more ideas for "Marco Polo," and for what lies BEYOND Marco Polo. I'm only sorry *I* didn't get a sex dream, let alone one as all-inclusive as Dabbler's. And I thought Zorlond's stuff was eerily good, very atmospheric. Zorlond does have his darker side. . . .

The California Agricultural Society has just boon holding its Fair at Sacramento. The good City of the Swamps was completely crammed with people from all parts of the State. It was almost impossible to obtain standing room even in the streets. For the privilege of standing on the steps of a hotel persons were obliged to pay from $3 to $5.
