Immortal (Ex): | Upon reaching adulthood, Elfking Aëlás do not suffer any penalties or gain any bonuses due to aging. Elfking Aëlás never dies as a result of his age. |
Elfblood (Ex): | Elfking Aëlás' spellcasting is always based upon his charisma, rather than the characteristic it would normally be based on. |
Disease Immunity (Ex): | Elfking Thraëlû is immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases. |
Spell Points: | Elfking Thraëlû does not have spells per day, instead using spell points for his Ranger spells. It costs 1 spell point to cast a 1st level spell, 3 to cast a 2nd level spell, 5 to cast a 3rd level spell and 7 to cast a 4th level spell. Ranger Spell Points: 86 |
Reserve Power: | Thraëlû can attempt to cast spells after he has run out of spell points. Thraëlû can cast a spell at the cost of 5 hit points per spell level (3 hit points for a 0-level spell). When Thraëlû does this, he becomes fatigued. When Thraëlû uses more than half his origional hit point total in this way, he becomes exhausted. |
Spellcasting: | Thraëlû uses the Spellcasting variant rule for spellcasting, except that he has to take 10 on his spellcraft check when casting ranger spells. Ranger Spellcasting Modifier: +26 |
Elfking Thraëlû[edit]
Elfking Thraëlû is the king of Nymlaën and the huspand of the healer-lady Laëlás. He is a master of the woodlands, and unmatched in the arts of stealth, tracking and archery. He constantly defends his borders against enemies who invade his borders (mostly orcs and goblins), and never dispairs, even when the defense of his woodland realm is falling.

Demi Moore is single again. Poor coug. She's having trouble getting over her young husband and now she got dumped by her latest cub.
Demi's art dealer boyfriend, Vito Schnabel, dumped her old a** (24-year age difference!!) because he wants to be taken seriously as an artist and didn't want to be in her spotlight.
A source said, "Vito has worked very hard to be taken seriously in the art business, and doesn't want to be seen as somebody who dates celebrities. He hated having photographers follow him around after word got out about him and Demi."
He was even upset that she flew down to Miami to party last week because he was there for this big event. He felt like she was an added distraction that he didn't need while all the big collectors were in town. And those pics that got posted… looked like Demi was the only one dancing like a fool. Emphasis on the word FOOL.
It's ok Demi. It's just a matter of time before you find yourself a new cub that will make you forget all about what's his name and his super hot girlfriend.

Happy Memorial Day!
How has your weekend been? Mine has been amazing.
It all started when Lauren came into town and stayed with us for her first night in Boston. David, Lauren and I had dinner at Dali, down the street from our apartment.
I didn't end up taking pictures because our table was tucked into a dimly lit corner. We ended up ordering a couple dishes each and then sharing: garlic shrimp, goat cheese with marinara, fried Spanish cheese with sweet onion and honey, chicken croquettes, and chorizo with onions and sherry. And of course, a pitcher of sangria to share.
On Saturday, I ended up working a 12 to 8 shift. I had a quick breakfast with Lauren (delicious cereal bowl with yogurt, Kashi, raspberries, blackberries and granola) and then met my parents over at the Run to Remember expo to get our numbers. Myself, Lauren and my parents were running the 5 miler this year. Remember last year's race? This one was so much better.
After work that night, I stayed with my parents at the hotel that is right at the starting line. I got a pretty good amount of sleep, except the last two hours I kept getting nervous knots. Not nervous about the race, but nervous that I would miss the wake up call! Didn't happen though, thank goodness. We were up at 6:30 and ready to go to the race a little bit after 7 (the race started at 7:15).
Since I haven't ran more than 3 miles in the last two months, I didn't have any grand expectations for a PR at this race. I just wanted to get out there and have fun because it's a really great course through downtown Boston.
And I have to say that I was very proud of my time, considering how much I haven't been running. My pace was just under 10 minute miles, but I think the course was a bit long, which would have made my pace around 9:30. Sounds good to me!
Picture from Lauren's phone
And I was SO surprised to run into my friend Mike, who I met in Ireland back in 2004 (he was there for school too and grew up near Boston). Such a small world and so good to see him!
For lunch after the race, Lauren and I headed to the Hingham Shipyard.
To drink I had the blueberry beer and for lunch I had the chicken pesto sandwich with mozzarella cheese and marinara sauce. Our lunch took quite a bit to come out but we had such a good conversation going that we barely noticed. And the food was delicious! I loved my sandwich. The sweet potato fries that came with it were just OK.
And of course, we could not pass up going to Red Mango for dessert! It's self serve!
I had a mix of pineapple and coconut topped with almond, pineapple, coconut and chocolate chips. I love tropical flavored frozen yogurt.
After our fun afternoon (Thank you for a great weekend Lauren! So glad to have you over), I headed to the house for the remainder of the day. I'll update the page soon, but here's where we are at with the progress.
How was your Memorial Day weekend? Today will be more time at the house. Have to use any good weather that we can get!

Just had a "feeling" about this place and I should have went with my gut. I bought a pair of "show quality" Polish's for my daughter who just started 4-H. Found them on Craigslist. The hen was "calm" when we were holding her and I thought "I'm so glad she is not wild and she might be able to do showmanship with this bird". When we got home I put them in my "hospital" because it's away from my birds. I put them in 2 different cages. Went in this morning, found the hen laying on her side not dead yet. Went inside the house to talk to my husband and went back out and she had died.
I called the "breeder" and told her I wanted to bring BOTH back and get my money back. She said fine but she won't be home until tomorrow at 3:30. I don't want him on my property so I asked if there is any way we could come anytime today. She said "Sorry out of town..." UGGH!!!! They live 45 min away so it's not like I can just drive there and see. I have a feeling she is going to flake out on us.
My daughter is so hartbroken. I am so upset because I feel I should have known. I'm new with this showing stuff and don't even know what to look for when buying a bird. I feel sick...

Store Type | | Shopping Areas |
Neighbourhood | | Vancouver |

BIA office open Monday – Friday 9AM – 5PM |
Profile Last Updated: July 25, 2008
Vancouver's Chinatown has been around since the late 1800s, when Chinese immigrants were first setting up in Vancouver. They formed two alleys in the city called Shanghai and Canton. By 1890, Shanghai Alley was home to more than 1,000 Chinese residents. For a long time, Vancouver's Chinatown was an unofficial neighbourhood. Chinese people lived there and there were Chinese shops all around the area, but no support was coming from the province or the city. Then, in the early 1990s, the Chinatown business community, through the Vancouver Chinatown Merchants Association, began to search for an effective vehicle to fund and implement projects to revitalize the area. In 2000, they implemented the Vancouver Chinatown Business Improvement Area. The focus is on improving Chinatown's safety and cleanliness, expanding and strengthening its promotions and events and working with the media and external partners to improve Chinatown's public realm, public perception and relations.
What's There?
Vancouver's Chinatown is home to several great attractions. One is the Vancouver Chinatown Millennium Gate. This physical structure that is symbolic of both past and future was planned to commemorate this "Journey in Time." You can also visit the historical alleys on which Chinatown was created. There are also several shops and restaurants crammed into Chinatown, servicing your every shopping and dining need. During the summer, on weekend evenings, Keefer and Pender Streets turn into an open-air night market. If you have time for a leisurely meal, try dim sum at one of the many small restaurants. It is an inexpensive, multi-course culinary adventure.
Events and Stuff
This is the place to be in Vancouver for unique events! Check out the food fair every year, where people can sample various types of cuisine, watch cooking demos and even participate in the cooking contest.

Do You Realize How Lucky You Are?

Emily Heist Moss asks: Are we obligated to reject our socialization? One of my favorite yoga teachers has this routine she does at the beginning of class.

How I Responded When My Daughter Said 'Girls Can't Do The Same Things Boys Can Do'
By Michele YuloOctober 30, 2012
Having a kid means understanding that anytime or anywhere you might find yourself in the middle of a very serious and deep conversation. In my experience, one minute you can be talking about a new toy, and the next whether or not you can come back as a tree after you die (true story). Children have an uncanny ability to reveal their curiosities through the most seemingly innocent ponderings, an...Posted in Fathers, Feminism, Gender Roles, Life, Mothers, nfti-home, Parents | (0) Comments »
Why Gays Are To Blame For Hurricane Sandy
By Lynn BeisnerOctober 30, 2012
Because we, as a nation, have made the wrong political choices, the Christian Right believes God is now punishing us, says Lynn Beisner. There were two things I knew for sure when I read the forecasts for Hurricane Sandy: First, my elderly dog would insist on being let outside to pee even if the winds were strong enough to carry her away.

Why I'm Resistant To All Things Pink In October

Judith Rosenbaum explains why "breast cancer awareness" is simply not enough. Though I've never had breast cancer, I think it's fair to say the disease has shaped my life. My mother was diagnosed at age 32, when I was 5 years old; she battled the disease for 33 years before dying of her sixth recurrence last December. Four years ago, I learned that I carry the BRCA genetic mutation...Posted in Culture and Politics, Current Events, Judith, nfti-home, Philanthropy, Womanhood | (0) Comments »
Why It's OK To End A Friendship Over Political Differences

Are abortion rights and gay marriage trivial enough issues to be set aside for the sake of a friendship? Election day can't get here soon enough.

My Son's Easy Bake Oven Shame

Joanna Schroeder wonders why, as traditional gender roles are starting to fade, the Easy-Bake Oven is now more girly than ever.

They held a spring game at South Carolina Saturday, and what happened couldn't have been less consequential.
At least compared to what could be this week and throughout the summer.
South Carolina – a legitimate threat to win the big, bad SEC – needs backup-turned-starting quarterback Connor Shaw to get ready. Two more practices this week, and a summer full of voluntary work, are critical to the Gamecocks' hopes of winning their first conference championship.
And Shaw's hopes of replacing indefinitely suspended starter Stephen Garcia.
"Connor needs to have a wonderful summer," said South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier. "He just needs to take snap after snap."
Shaw's solid performance led the way on the first big weekend of spring games – if for no other reason, he played well when he had to. A look at other highlights from Saturday:
What we saw: The Tigers found a tailback in sophomore Spencer Ware, who scored two touchdowns and gave LSU another weapon with rapidly improving QB Jordan Jefferson.
What it means: The offense, the last remaining obstacle in another LSU national title run, is humming under new coordinator Steve Kragthorpe. That's bad news for the rest of the SEC.
What we saw: More of the same: physical, point-of-attack play from a pro style offense. QB Andrew Luck looks crisp; the offense had poise and power.
What it means: They'll need the offense early. The defense is still a work in progress, despite some star players (LBs Shayne Skov, Chase Thomas), and must be more physical up front.
What we saw: New offensive coordinator Chad Morris wants to go up-tempo offense (think Oregon, Oklahoma), but inexperienced QB Tajh Boyd is still adjusting. He struggles at times with command of the pace and pre-snap reads, and is much more comfortable running than striding and throwing.
What it means: Coach Dabo Swinney has talked all spring about mental toughness and playing with a sense of urgency. The new tempo on offense is a byproduct of that – but is it too much for Boyd to handle?

CHICAGO - Two fossils of a newly discovered dinosaur - an early, distant cousin of the Triceratops - have been discovered in China, according to research that will be published in Nature March, 21, 2002.
But rather than weighing ten tons and being studded with massive horns and a wide frill, like its well-known cousin, the new dinosaur weighed only about seven pounds and shows signs of only rudimentary horns and a frill. About the size of a hare, Liaoceratops yanzigouensis is the smallest, oldest and most primitive neoceratops ever found.
"This small, primitive dinosaur is actually more interesting to science in many ways than its larger, more famous relatives because it teaches us more about evolution," says Peter Makovicky, PhD, assistant curator of dinosaurs at The Field Museum and co-author of the research. "Basal [primitive] dinosaurs are critical because they help us to tie different groups of dinosaurs together and map out evolutionary patterns."
Long ago, ceratopsians branched into two lines: neoceratopsians, the main line that includes Triceratops, and psittacosaurids, parrot-beaked dinosaurs.
"Liaoceratops establishes that this split occurred no later than the earliest part of the Cretaceous Period about 130 million years ago," Dr. Makovicky says. "Also, it indicates that ceratopsians acquired some of their distinctive features earlier and more rapidly than was previously recognized.
"In addition, Liaoceratops demonstrates that the large, spectacular species that grace many museum exhibits are descended from some very small ancestors," he adds. "We see this common pattern in many different groups of dinosaurs. "
The Nature paper will describe two fossils: a juvenile specimen and a holotype - the single specimen designated by the authors as the definitive example of this new species. The adult skull is 4.4 inches long

By Mayo Clinic staffComplications of mumps are potentially serious, but rare.
Most mumps complications involve inflammation and swelling in some part of the body, such as:
- Testicles. This condition, known as orchitis, causes one or both testicles to swell in males who've reached puberty. Orchitis is painful, but it rarely leads to sterility — the inability to father a child.
- Pancreas. The signs and symptoms of this condition, known as pancreatitis, include pain in the upper abdomen, nausea and vomiting.
- Ovaries and breasts. Females who've reached puberty may have inflammation in the ovaries (oophoritis) or breasts (mastitis). Fertility is rarely affected.
- Brain. A viral infection, such as mumps, can lead to inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Encephalitis can lead to neurological problems and become life-threatening.
- Membranes and fluid around the brain and spinal cord. This condition, known as meningitis, can occur if the mumps virus spreads through your bloodstream to infect your central nervous system.
Other complications
- Hearing loss. In rare cases, mumps can cause hearing loss, usually permanent, in one or both ears.
- Miscarriage. Although it isn't proved, contracting mumps while you're pregnant, especially early on, may lead to miscarriage.

They should have given Madoff the death penalty. This like the 5th or 6th suicide because of him.
Son Of Bernie Madoff's Accountant Commits Suicide
The son of Bernard Madoff's longtime accountant, Dave Friehling, has committed suicide in central Ohio, authorities have reported.
Jeremy Friehling, 23, was found dead at his apartment of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday in Columbus, where he was a second-year student at Ohio State's medical school, police there said.
He himself pleaded guilty to securities fraud in the scandal that arose from the Madoff Ponzi scheme.
According to the Associated Press, there was no indication that the Madoff investment scandal had anything to do with the suicide, there was a note that just said that he was sorry.
Bernard Madoff was arrested in 2008 and later admitted that his investment business was a multibillion-dollar Ponzi scheme. He was sentenced to 150 years in prison. Madoff's son, Mark Madoff, committed suicide in December 2010, hanging himself in his New York City apartment.
Friehling's father David, pleaded guilty in 2009 to securities fraud charges. He was Madoff's accountant for nearly two decades and federal prosecutors said he turned a blind eye to Madoff's cooked books.
This Madoff Ponzi scheme is sad in that it is still claiming victims over four years later.

Cant put this blame on Bernie Madoff he didnt do this all alone, nor did he hold a gun to the head of these scum that helped him rob people blind.
If they were never caught scum like Bernie,Mark Madoff, Jeremy Friehling and his father etc would have continued with this scam.
I feel no pity for the whole lot of them. And im surprised anyone would feel sorry for them. They knowingly ruined lives, killing himself was taking the easy way out. The Victimizer can not become a victim.
Ive noticed when i was younger whenever I did things that were considered bad and got away with it i felt relief/good getting away with it. But when i was caught for these offenses I felt shame and remorse.
If he killed himself it wasnt Bernies fault it was his own greed if you wanna put blame on anyone blame his dad for raising him that way to cheat, steal etc.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist…but one never knows why these suicides happened…
esp when you consider how much government compliance was involved with this …
This is tragic. There are no words…
Words cannot express the sadness of one taking his or her life when that life is so much ahead of them. Even though he was only 19 when the fraud was exposed meaning he was not in the position to be responsible for anything the sins of the father were too much of a weight of guilt for him to deal with.
Letting Madoff rot the rest of his life behind bars, his freedom taken away, the bitter memories of a life-style he was accustomed to and no longer has, having the guilt on his hands for the eight lives he took away – including his own son – isn't punishment enough but at least there is some satisfaction – how little empty it might be – in knowing that he is going to live like this till his dying day.
** wanted to add that being the person he is, he might be devoid of any feeling of the blood stains that are on his hands including that of his own son. And if he isn't, then living with that every day for the rest of his life is better than taking him out of his misery.
This is a terrible tragic story that instead of fading over time seems to continue to claim victims. The web of deceit knows no bounds. Like Just, I am not really a conspiracy guy but I feel that nearly everyone close to this monster has some of the stink on them.
I feel terrible for this young man and his family. His father's greed seems to have brought on a generational curse.
Hi Slatsburg,
Exactly the point when it comes to the sad ending for Jeremy Friehling, One year out of high school and a freshman in college, he was still only a kid and could not have been involved in the scheme in any manner. He just could not deal with the burden of being the son of one who did so much harm to others – but I suspect he had to be dealing with many other personal demons that were tormenting him thoughout his very short life span to have caused him to end his life.

Sequatchie Cave State Natural Areahttp://www.state.tn.us/environment/na/natareas/sequatch/ Jasper, TNSequatchie Cave is a 10-acre, biologically significant, natural area where Owen Spring Branch flows from the mouth of the cave at Sequatchie Cave Park in Marion County. The cave and its cold spring water support three federally and state listed species, three species of state concern, and many other aquatic and cave species. This is one of two sites where the federally endangered royal snail (Pyrgulopsis ogmorphaphe) is known in the world. Both are in Marion County. This is also the site where the rare caddisfly (Glyphopsyche sequatchie) was first described, making it the type locality for this species from which the official description derives. Directions: Sequatchie Cave is located five miles north of Jasper. The site is accessed via Highway 27; turn on Park Street in the community of Sequatchie. |

April 2012 Monthly Auction
Congratulations to J. Graney who placed the winning bid of $3,000 for March's auction painting "Playing the Accordion" estimated at $3,500- $4,000 and R. Rose who had the high bid of $1,250 to win March's second auction painting "Village Church" estimated at $2,500-3,000.
The response to our two auctions in March was strong, so we have decided to offer two auction pieces every month. For April, as our TWO auction paintings, we are pleased to offer pieces to celebrate Spring, "Dneprovskey Tune" by Grigory P. Matsegora and "Summer at the Dacha" by Nikolai Fyodorovich Sokolov.
Bidding begins at $250, followed by minimum bidding increments of $250. The auction will end Monday, April 30th at 6:00 pm.
The commonality of the two auction paintings for April may not be evident at first glance. A bright landscape and a genre portrait. Both works share Russian Spring as a theme. The season is a joyous time most everywhere. Rebirth, a new beginning. But in Russia with its heritage of long, long cold dark winters, spring is has a special significance. It is planting time. Dacha season, with long rich days of sunshine filled with friends, great food and vodka. Most every Russian keeps an almost genetic tie to the land, the soul of the Motherland. Even if home is a high rise in the center of Moscow, that link to the earth remains important to Russians.
In these two pieces you see the subtle joy of the season and the colors of home and youth. Optimism is in the air.
Grigoriy Prokofievich Matsegora b. 1956
Honored Fine Artist of Ukraine
He was born in the Oleyniky Village (Ukraine). In 1956, Matsegpra graduated from State Art Collage in Kharkov. His teacher was M.M. Slipchenok. He has been participating in Regional, Republican, All-Union and foreign exhibitions since 1959. He is a member of the Ukrainian Union of Artists since 1970.
Matsegora is an Honored Fine Art Worker of Ukraine. His creative credo is a respectful attitude towards the Nature and, simultaneously, a free dialogue with it without any tendency to decorate it. Ukrainian villages, faithful and true love to his countrymen, with whom he survived during the hard Second World War years, the hunger in 1947 and tragic year under Stalin, Stalinism all of those factors determined his life and artistic position. The artist's paintings reflect people's culture of Ukrainian villages with their vividly expressed national features. The artist's paintings are exhibited in Museums and in some private picture collections in Ukraine and abroad.
Nikolai Fyodorovich Sokolov b. 1921
Nikolai F. Sokolov was born in 1921 in the village Verkhnekokovskoye (now Sosnovka) of Ulyanovsk
Oblast, where he spent his childhood and all the following years of his life are connected with Orenburg, where the Sokolov family moved in 1936.
Nikolai Sokolov drew, liked music and liked to go to ballet school. He was so fond of his dancing classes that it became his profession. During the uneasy war years, he and his artist fellows brightened up with their art the severe life in the front.
Far East, Korea, Mongolia ... here, on military roads, the man, his character and heart opened up before him at the moment of the highest potential. The soldier's heroic deed astounded him. At that time he also became convinced about the necessary of devoting his creative gift to people. At the front, Sokolov continued drawing in between the concerts, therefore he was not broken down by misfortune when due to a front wound he had to leave the stage.
The 1947 year, Orenburg again, small clay houses heated by the sun, innumerable pigeon flocks over the town. And people, maybe not in soldier uniforms, but also performing their everyday labor heroic deeds. The artist wanted to live for them and to tell about them.
Wherever the artist was, in his studio, on an artistic trip, at rest -- a piece of paper and a pencil are always with him. Drawings, sketches and work-outs are collected in thick files in the artist's archives. Among them there is not only auxiliary material for his future works, but also finished graphical portraits of our fellow countryman. His simple unpretentious still lives and landscapes are imbued with a special sensation of happiness and admiration of his native environment.
Artists, like we all, are very different. Some are purposeful, others are given to contemplation, but Sokolov is impulsive by nature, easily carried away, apt to rises and falls. It is far from being easy for an artist to obtain stability and completeness of art, if the hand of an experienced teacher did not facet his talent. Nikolai Sokolov, feeling the lack of professional knowledge, entered in 1955 Tashkent Arts College, which he had to leave due to life circumstances after the third year. The artist did not give up. He studied anatomy at Orenburg Medical Institute, visited the studio of academician Neprintsev several times, held a life-class and drew a lot, doggedly mastering the artist's skill hour by hour, day by day.
One of the sides of his creative work soon revealed the interest in the person, sitting for him, and the deepest respect to this person. Whatever subject and whatever genre the artist turned to, he always craved for picturesqueness.
Of great importance for Sokolov were his trips to the artistic dacha, where the contact with the leading masters of Soviet Art (People's Artist of RSFSR Y. Kugach, A. and S. Tokarevs) broadened his mental outlook and helped him get more convinced about his conceptions and beliefs.
In the 1960s, the artist paid a lot of attention to the development of color and shade. The works of that period are very different, sometimes enhanced sense of color, sometimes restraint of similar shades. At the time Nikolai met recognition and success, joining the Artists Union of RSFSR and participation in zonal and republican exhibitions.
In early 1970, the artist's number of painting changed. The color became more reserved and the stroke less noticeable. The model's face became the center of composition of a half or a three quarters portrait, and sometimes a bust portrait. The landscape is rarely introduced in the portrait, which more often has an interior or just a colored background. The artist became more strict to the model, searching for the characteristic features.
As always, the workers of the village are the heroes of many of his works. The trip to village Konstantinovka of Sharlyksky district in 1980 was very fruitful for the artist. The landscapes, sketches and portraits drawn there are full of the artist's immediate impressions from life.
Nikolai Fyodorovich Sokolov took a strong liking to Orenburg region. The artist is interested in the people living there and in the history and nature of Orenburg. The workers of the town and villages, legendary Chapaev, flowers of the steppe and fast rivers -- this is what the artist narrates with his heart. He cordially and sincerely tells us about the most important things, about homeland, contemporary people and the beauty of life.

Covalent binding of suprofen acyl glucuronide to albumin in vitro.
1. Suprofen acyl glucuronide, a major metabolite of suprofen in man, is labile, undergoing acyl migration to isomeric conjugates which are not cleaved by beta-glucuronidase. 2. The pH-dependent degradation of diastereomeric suprofen glucuronides in aqueous buffer increases rapidly near physiological pH with an apparent first-order half life of 1.4 h at pH 7. 4. 3. Suprofen glucuronide and its isomeric conjugates are reactive with albumin in a pH-dependent manner which corresponds to the stability of the acyl glucuronide. Several per cent of the conjugates added to albumin in solution become covalently bound. 4. The covalent binding of suprofen equivalents to albumin is greatly enhanced by the addition of either cyanide or cyanoborohydride anion, which supports the presence of an imine in the process of binding. Release of isomeric conjugates by treatment of the albumin adduct with dilute acid also supports covalent binding via an imine. 5. The covalent binding of suprofen to proteins through its reactive acyl glucuronide may be of toxicological importance and relevant to the acute renal toxicity observed for suprofen in man.[1]References

Today's Scripture
Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation Habakkuk 3:17-18, NKJV.
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
We all face challenges and obstacles in this life. We all have dreams in our hearts, and at times, it looks like theyre not going to come to pass. During these difficult seasons, we have a choice. We can get negative and discouraged and talk about how things are not going to work out, or we can switch over into praise and thanksgiving which opens the door for God to move on our behalf.
A lot of times people think, Ill have a good attitude as soon as I get over this health issue. Joel, Ill give God praise when I get through these tough times. But thats not how faith works. As long as were negative, discouraged and focused on our problems, it limits what God can do. Youve got to give God praise first, and then the breakthrough will come. Youve got to change your focus first, and then things will change in your favor. Praise always precedes the victory.
Today, if youve been dwelling on the wrong things and focusing in the wrong direction, switch over into praise and thanksgiving. Begin to declare that God is good. Declare that He is faithful. Declare His praises and open the door to victory in every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Father God, today I humbly come before You, lifting You up and magnifying Your holy name. Thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness in my life. I bless You and honor You for Your goodness in Jesus name. Amen!

β2 Integrins and ICAM-1 Are Involved in Establishment of the Intestinal Mucosal T Cell Compartment
Immunity, Volume 5, Issue 3, 1 September 1996, Pages 263-273
James W Huleatt and Leo Lefrançois
SummaryDevelopment of the mucosal immune system was examined in mice with partial loss of expression of ICAM-1 or CD18. Profound effects on Peyer's patch (PP), lamina propria (LP), and intraepithelial lymphocyte (IEL) T cell populations were observed in mu- tant mice. Normal expression of CD18 integrins and ICAM-1 was essential for development of the CD8αβ TCRαβ LP and IEL compartment and for the generation of normal PP lymphocyte populations. The partial loss of CD8αβ IEL correlated with the loss of TCRαβ IEL-mediated lytic activity. The presence of a subset of Thy1+ TCRγδ IEL was also dependent on CD18 integrins and ICAM-1. Both the lytic activity and the expression of CD11c by TCRγδ IEL were up-regulated in the presence of TCRαβ T cells. Analysis of bone marrow chimeras demonstrated that a bone marrow–derived ICAM-1+ accessory cell was involved in the generation of some TCRαβ IEL. These results demonstrated that ICAM-1 and β2 integrins were required for establishment of a normal intestinal immune system.

SummaryMemory T cells are distributed throughout the body following infection, but the migratory dynamics of the memory pool in vivo is unknown. The ability of circulating microbe-specific memory T cells to populate lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues was examined using adoptive transfer and parabiosis systems. While migration of memory CD8 T cells to lymph nodes and peritoneal cavity required Gi-coupled receptor signaling, migration to the spleen, bone marrow, lung, and liver was independent of this pathway. Following parabiosis, memory T cells rapidly equilibrated into the lymphoid tissues, lung, and liver of each parabiont, implying most memory cells were not obligately tissue resident. Equilibration of memory cell populations was delayed in the brain, peritoneal cavity, and intestinal lamina propria, indicating controlled gating for entry into these tissues. In addition, memory cell migration to the lamina propria required β7 integrins. Thus, the blood-borne T cell pool serves to maintain the homeostasis of tissue-based memory populations.

T Lymphocytes Negatively Regulate Lymph Node Lymphatic Vessel Formation
Immunity, Volume 34, Issue 1, 28 January 2011, Pages 96-107
Raghu P. Kataru, Honsoul Kim, Cholsoon Jang, Dong Kyu Choi, Bong Ihn Koh, Minah Kim, Sudheer Gollamudi, Yun-Keun Kim, Seung-Hyo Lee and Gou Young Koh
SummaryLymph node lymphatic vessels (LNLVs) serve as a conduit to drain antigens from peripheral tissues to within the lymph nodes. LNLV density is known to be positively regulated by vascular endothelial growth factors secreted by B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs). Here, we show that LNLV formation was negatively regulated by T cells. In both steady and inflammatory states, the density of LNLVs was increased in the absence of T cells but decreased when T cells were restored. Interferon-γ secretion by T cells suppressed lymphatic-specific genes in lymphatic endothelial cells and consequently caused marked reduction in LNLV formation. When T cells were depleted, recruitment of antigen-carrying DCs to LNs was augmented, reflecting a compensatory mechanism for antigen presentation to T cells through increased LNLVs. Thus, T cells maintain the homeostatic balance of LNLV density through a negative paracrine action of interferon-γ.

- Athymic cytokine receptor γ chain mutant mice that lack the thymus, Peyer's patches, cryptopatches (CP), and intestinal T cells were reconstituted with wild-type bone marrow cells. Bone marrow–derived TCR− intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) first appeared within villous epithelia of small intestine overlying the regenerated CP, and these TCR− IEL subsequently emerged throughout the epithelia. Thereafter, TCR+ IEL increased to a comparable number to that in athymic mice and consisted of TCRγδ and TCRαβ IEL. In gut-associated lymphoid tissues of wild-type mice, only CP harbored a large population of c-kithighIL-7R+CD44+Thy-1+/−CD4+/−CD25low/−αEβ7−Lin− (Lin, lineage markers) lymphocytes that included cells expressing germline but not rearranged TCRγ and TCRβ gene transcripts. These findings provide direct evidence that gut CP develop progenitor T cells for extrathymic IEL descendants.

Knicks fans should cherish Jason Kidd's role on the team. They may not see him when this season ends. Kidd, who turned 40 yesterday, said Friday night he may not play out his entire three-year contract with the team. "We're going to revisit [it]," he said. "We [would] love to make it to 42, but we have to be realistic. If the body and mind can't compete at the same time, then I got to move to the side and watch these younger guys play. But I feel great." Before Saturday night's 110-84 rout of the Raptors, rookie Chris Copeland led the Garden crowd in singing happy birthday to Kidd, who is in his 19th season in the league and with his fourth team. He received a loud ovation after entering the game midway through the first quarter. "It was nice that the organization did that," said Kidd, who was held to three points, three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes. The Knicks hope to have the grizzled guard around past this season. Coach Mike Woodson, who has moved Kidd into a reserve role to limit his minutes, thinks he can play two more seasons.
Knicks PG not a Kidd anymore

Festival- Ghatasthapana ( Starting day of Dasain)
Date: 2012-10-162012-10-16The Ghatasthapana, is performed on the first day of Navaratri and Dasain. Ghatsthapana involves invoking Goddess Shakti in Kalash or Pot and symbolically on the growing shoots of grains. It is performed mainly in Nepal during Dashain, North India during Navratri and in some parts of Bengal and eastern parts of India during Durga Puja. The Ghatasthapana starts on the first day of Navratri – Pratipada day and is continued for the next nine days. The puja ends on the 10th day morning of Vijaya Dasami which is the main day of Dasain. This is the one of the biggest and important festival for the Nepalese to gather all family together and observed the festival once a year all together with family. On way of Christmas in Europe, the Dashain is taken on similar way in Nepal. Of the nine days of Navaratra, the first day of Ghatasthapana, the seventh day of Phulpati, the eight day Maha Astami and the ninth day Maha Nawami are of special significance in the 10 day Nepali Hindu festivals of Dashain. In addition to the everyday regular rituals, special rituals are performed on these days. The worshippers do navapatrika puja, also known more popularly as phulpati, on the seventh day to ask the goddess for forgiveness for the sins committed by the family members and put an end to their difficulties and misfortunes and to bless the family with peace and well-being. Preparation for the Phulpati puja begins from the sixth day of the Navaratra. On this day, a pair of bel (wood apple) hanging from the bel tree itself is consecrated. If a tree is not available, then pair of bel is kept in the southern corner of one's household and worshiped. Bel fruit represdents goddess Shree or prosperity, one of the many manifestations of goddess Laxmi. On the seventh day or Phulpati, the above- mentioned pair of bel along with eight other plants is taken inside the Dashain Ghar or the allocated room where the Navaratra Puja is solemnized. The nine plants- banana, dadim, dhanko bala, haledo, manabriksha, kachuki, belpatra, ashok, and jayanti are collective called navapatrika. Each of the plants represents a specific manifestation of Goddess Shakti. Banana plant represents Goddess Brahmande, who bestows peace. Pomegranate (dadim) represents Goddess Rakta Dantika who helps and blesses the worshipper. In rich stalk (dhanko bala) lives Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Goddess Durga is supposed to grace the turmeric plant (haledo) and put and end to bighna-s or obstacles. Ginger plant (aduwa) represents Goddess Kalika who blesses the mortals. In bel plant lives shiva, and is the favourite fruit of Lords Bishnu and Shiva. Similarly, in the ashok plant resides Goddess shokaha Jayanti represents Goddess Kartikeya whi is revered by all Gods. Some people take the navapatrika or nine plants inside the Dashain Ghar in the morning, some during the midday and some in the evening, all depending on their individual family traditions. Agter thi, navapatrika Puja is carried out . On this day, Saraswoti, the goddess of learning and knowledge is also worshiped. Besides this, people following different occupations, bring the tools of their trades inside the Dashain Ghar and worship them and take them out on the 10th day only. Students or people associated with learning and teaching do uja of their books. business people venerate their scales or thier ledgets, similarly, tailors venerate their sewing machines and blacksmiths their hamers and anvils. In the villages, even today, tailors, blacksmiths and shoemakers don't work for three days, the seventh, eight, and ninth, of Navaratra.

I have my own life to work out, without him giving me this stupid fucking bullshit and always hanging out with idiots and then canceling our plans and then giving me attitude, like I should understand why, after dating him for five years, that everyone else comes before me. I sacrificed so much shit to be with him, and even now I still make these fucking sacrifices. I shouldn't put up with it anymore.*Urgh*Work was fucking packed, and then I got out an hour late, and then I worried about Jill a bit. She and Jamon just broke up, partly because of the same stuff I've been feeling in the recent past. She went to the gay bar with Jarod, and I think they'll be having lots of fun together, I should have went with them though, because it sure as hell would have beat sitting at home by myself, but Rob said we'd be hanging out.HE FUCKING PISSES ME OFF!I've said fucking alot.I feel better.Not really.Eventually.

Junkie (Rikki Gagne), Badass (Sylvia Soska), Badass's shy twin sister Geek (Jen Soska) and Geek's church-going, Jesus-loving almost-boyfriend Gody Two-Shoes (CJ Wallis) for some reasons go on a roadtrip together - and find a dead hooker (Tasha moth) in their trunk. Now this is bad, since Junkie and Badass can't really remember if they are responsible for this after a night of very heavy partying, so calling the police is out of the question, and getting rid of the body is mandatory - and from here on it only gets worse, because the uneven quartet soon finds itself on the run from everybody, like drugdealers, the hooker's pimp (John Tench), the police, and the hooker's hooded killer. This whole affair doesn't leave our four heroes unharmed, either, as Junkie loses one of her arms, Geek one of her eyes, and they all become murderers when they kill first the hooker, who after all hasn't been properly dead yet, then the guy they think was her killer (or almost killer) - which he wasn't.
In the end, the real killer aka the man you least expect (played by Loyd Bateman), a guy who has been suffering from sexual frustration since his penis was slit during circumcision, retrieves the dead hooker and kidnaps Badass, to follow the hooker to the netherworld - but need I mention this one's got a happy ending, and the hooker ultimately gets a sea burial ...
CJ Wallis, Rkki Gagne, Sylvia and Jen Soska
Dead Hooker in a Trunk is one of these all too rare cases where a promising title actually leads to a good movie - and the movie is everything the title suggests, a self-consciously trashy low budget exploitation flick with horror and road movie undercurrents - though while the movie is everything you'd expect it to be, it's still full of unexpected plottwists.
The main selling point of Dead Hooker in a Trunk though is that it is fun from start to finish: It doesn't take itself very seriously but is well-paced , and it never shies away from gore and dismemberment, but mostly puts a macabre to hilarious twist to it.
Essentially, the film is above all great entertainment. Recommended.
