Billabong Ventana Cardigan 1 1
bought it, love it! the sleeves roll down to wrist-length, so it adds to the versatility. probably the best thing about this is the fringe. i absolutely adore this cardigan; i layered it with a thicker sweater when it got somewhat cold here and it really helped and looked awesome. i got so many compliments on it! seems like it's very good quality and a must-have.

I tried searching for this but couldn't find any threads with my specific problem. If a thread already exists, I apologize.
I have wireless and it everything was fine, until I took my MacBook out and then back home. When I tried to connect to the wireless as usual, everything looked normal (airport is on, all the bars are lit up, correct network, "Status: Connected") but there is no internet. I tried Firefox, Safari, MSN, nothing is connecting. I've tried restarting, unplugging the modem and router and waiting a few minutes and then plugging them back in, the wireless still shows it's connected, but no internet. I tried plugging in an ethernet cable and my MacBook recognizes that it's plugged in, but still, no internet. I know it's the MacBook and not the internet connection, because there are two other computers attached the the same modem that work fine. I have changed nothing on it, no settings, nothing, this happened all of a sudden. I am quite computer illiterate, so if anyone is willing to explain this to me as simply as possible, I would greatly appreciate it. |

Note: Moved to appropriate forum.
You said you took your MacBook out and then back home. I assume by that you mean you took it out and connected to another network? If that's what you did, your MacBook may be "lost". How about trying this and see if it helps: System Preferences -> Network. What are you showing for "location" in the location box at the top of the dialog? If you're not showing the correct location (for example: home) then your MacBook may not connect to the net either wireless or ethernet. Your location may have changed when you took the MacBook out and connected to another network. Regards. |

I find it sometimes helps to turn the airport off (via menu bar) wait a few seconds and turn back on. It then reconnects to the AP and often works.

GM Finegold is back with his usual mix of humor and insight. He even makes seemingly lifeless endgames fun to watch! Today he will make so many king moves "you'll get dizzy." The grandmaster beats a world youth champion despite the position looking defensible. You'll also hear what his advice is when playing against young stars. But the big question is, what obscure 1980s movie reference will he slip into his commentary? | Watch video
GM Bojkov has chronicled many top grandmasters in his videos, but today he takes a lesson from one of his talented student's games. After being tricked from a King's Indian into a Pirc, Black plays the dubious ...e5 (but is in good company, as at least one Super-GM did the same). The battle continues on until an unclear rook and multiple passed pawn endgame. Watch and learn some new techniques. | Watch video
Like classic openings? Fan of the Greek Gift sacrifice? Eager to see the Arabian Mate in a real game? All the traditional motifs are present in GM Dzindzi's selection for today's member analysis video. Black gets the pressure he seeks in the Two Knights Defense, but falters at the critical moments. Our grandmaster trainer shows you when to take extra time to find the elusive win! | Watch video
Not every game is a tactical melee. Today GM Khachiyan admits that he did "nothing special" - but there is beauty in simplicity. He's the king of practical play, and he chooses the most solid moves at every turn, stifling his opponent. Don't let Melik grab hold of an open file or let him latch on to a weak pawn. You'll be given a lesson in Karpovian style, but it'll cost you the point. | Watch video
Look up - is that an anvil on a cliff above your head? If cartoon characters have a sense of danger, so should you! GM Kaidanov will help you cultivate this necessary skill so you'll see bad things happening to you before they hit you on the head. He wants you not to fall in love with your position, but instead to focus just as much on your opponent's responses. Test yourself and see how many traps he successfully set for you! | Watch video
GM Bojkov ramps up the theory on opposite colored bishop endgames. Having already tackled positions where the pawns are together, here he shows several winning and drawing examples where the two passed pawns are separated. The distance between the passers is the salient ingredient between the half point and the full point. Watch and learn how far apart they have to be to eek out a victory! | Watch video
In an addendum to his last member video on development, GM Dzindzichashvili shows why sacrificing without complete development is usually a lost cause. After an initial h-file thrust, white felt compelled to try to mate quickly instead of choosing several other promising alternatives. Without any queenside development, the foray goes nowhere, and the lesson is hopefully learned, lest Roman be any more confused by white's future dubiousness. | Watch video
What happens when a former U.S. Women's Champion and a former U.S. Champion collide? The two engage in a feisty debate over the power of the famous isolated queen pawn. Black does a decent job blockading the d-pawn, but white launches a powerful attack anyway. Practitioners of the c3-Sicilian need to learn these ideas, but since so many openings can offer the same pawn structure, we are all advised to master the formation. | Watch video
The symphony comes to an end for FM Elliott Liu, as he simplifies into a two-bishops ending. Still not believing he could lose to a child, his opponent makes him prove that he knows the technique. Naturally Liu handles the mate effortlessly, and the stubbornness of his opponent proves good fodder for a review of a basic checkmate. After 87 moves, the music finally stops for black. Bravo Elliott! | Watch video
FM Elliott Liu continues his great explanation of his quest to convert a material advantage in the famed "First Saturday" tournament series in Budapest. Using sly maneuvers and careful planning, he shows how improving the worst piece can often be the best plan. His exemplary game is still not quite in the bag, but Liu is inching closer by trading two of his opponent's three remaining pieces. Can his extra bishop tip the balance in his favor? | Watch video

for those who have used it how much weight did you guys lose of this does it burn fat and build muscle or just burn fat? all answers greatly appreciated
I've used the stack many times and lose about 4 lbs off it. However I don't have a huge amount to lose.
I maintain muscle on it, gain a little. But I have strict training in place 5 days a week.
the amount of fat it wil burn depends on SO many factors: current bodyfat, setpoint, diet and phase (cutting etc.) caloric deficit (and how long you have been in deficit), routine, years working out/experience.
Evolutionary Muse - Inspire to Evolve
BPS - Where Body meets Performance
Flawless Skin Couture - We give you the tools to make you Flawless
I am just about to finish my first stack of this. I was veary pleased with it and will continue to use it for future cuts. I lost about 6-7 pounds through a combination of 5 day a week workouts, lots of cardio, and a pretty good though not perfect diet, and this stack. I have only been training since October and this was my first ever cut so I am still new to all of this. Hope this helped.
I didnt lose a pound on Lr and dcp for some reason, im 5"11 and 167 lbs in the afternoon, i should weigh myself after waking up for best measures, but idk why, im cutting and i didnt lose a single pound with it lol i was like -.- the only thing i got from it was way elavated moods i was in a good mood like 24/7 lol, and then i ordered some more recreate and i started losing again, so i went like this Recreate by itself(lost some good weight), Lr/dcp stack because i read good reviews on it and wanted to try it (didnt lose anything) and then recreate+the leftover dcp from previous stack and then i lost weight again
I just ran this stack and took off about 7lbs in 1 month. 180-173. i'm 5'8". Not bad considering I plataued at 180 for a few months.
I LOVE THAT COMBO>.. i gained weight and lost bodyfat.. if u know what i mean
That is a good stack but you'll never know till you try it, and remember the real results happen in the gym and in the kitchen it doesn't matter what you use if you don't use it right. If you give it a try good luck .
LR is a solid product and I can vouch for it.
I know everyone loves DCP, and I've ran some myself, but I just don't seem to benefit from DCP/TTA/etc. I've tried TTA ever since the Designer beta's came out, and nada. Not even the cramps everyone talks about. Ah well...
Right now I'm on the Recreate/Anabolic Pump stack and let me tell ya... I think I found what really works well for me!

Cleveland Municipal Stadium - The usual suspects—key fumbles, dropped passes, critical interceptions, and missed field goals—were the main culprits in Washington's sluggish loss to the Browns.
An interception at the Brown 23 by Cleveland's Ernie Kellerman killed a Redskin scoring threat and launched a touchdown march for the Browns. They moved to the Washington five, where Frank Ryan's pass intended for a wide-open Gary Collins hit the goal post. On the next play Ryan avoided the goal line obstacle, calling for fullback Ernie Green to run a flag pattern and the quarterback hit him for a 7-0 lead for the home team. That was all that Cleveland would need.

The requirements of adult man for indispensable amino acids |
10.1. The model
The most important factor affecting the calculation of amino acid oxidation is the enrichment of the precursor, since the measurement of labelled CO2 output is straightforward. Is there any possibility that the values that have been used for precursor activity are too low? One suggestion of how this could happen is that there is a pool of protein turning over with lifetime kinetics (Waterlow et al, 1978) with an average lifetime of 6-9 h in effect a delay pool (Slevin et al, 1991). This idea arose from the finding of a 'step' in the enrichment curve of urinary ammonia during hourly dosage of 15N-glycine without a prime. The first step or plateau occurred at 6-9 h, the second from 21 h onwards. This kind of behaviour could not be explained by any model in which exchanges of tracer occur by first order kinetics, nor could it be explained by recycling. Later results have confirmed our preliminary observations (Jackson, unpublished). The APE at the first plateau was 30% less than at the second plateau, and would lead to higher estimates of the flux. We have suggested that this pool, which is turning over rapidly by lifetime kinetics, may be associated with the gastro-intestinal tract, but at present these observations are preliminary and speculative.

We have to consider whether an effect of this kind could be occurring in the tracer balance studies. In these studies it is not possible to identify a step in the enrichment curve of the tracer, because all the infusions were primed and the fluxes calculated from the plateau at 2-3 h. The reason it seems unlikely that there is any serious defect in the model is that the fluxes and protein turnover rates calculated from this early plateau are in good agreement with those in the literature, including results obtained with 15N (Waterlow, 1995). However, it would surely be a mistake to suppose that the model currently used is the last word and that no more research is needed to establish the validity of the fluxes derived from it (Bier, 1989).
10.2. Route of administration of tracer; the 'first pass' effect
It has been suggested that it is artificial to give the tracer by vein when what is being measured is oxidation of amino acid in the food. Several investigators have given one tracer by vein and another by mouth (Cortiella et al, 1988; Beaufrere et al, 1989; Hoerr et al, 1991, 1993; Biolo et al, 1992; Matthews et al, 1993). These studies are in remarkable agreement in showing that with leucine as tracer 70-80% of the tracer given by mouth enters the plasma and 20-30% is 'sequestered' in the tissues of the splanchnic bed. Of the latter, about 60% is used for protein synthesis and 40% emerges as KIC (Matthews et al, 1993).
According to the data of Yu et al (1990), in the dog in the fed state 14% of the leucine taken up in the splanchnic bed was oxidized. With phenylalanine the proportions taken up and oxidized in the splanchnic bed were much greater (Biolo et al, 1992; Sanchez et al, 1995).
The significance of what has been called the 'first pass effect' for estimates of flux and oxidation is at present far from clear. According to my calculations (which may not be correct), the route of administration of tracer will have no effect on the estimate of flux from measurements on plasma, provided that the enrichment of the precursor is the same in splanchnic tissues, plasma and peripheral tissues. As discussed in section 7.3, one would expect on the basis of most animal experiments that with intravenous infusion the precursor activity would be lower in liver than in plasma, but we do not know how it will behave with an intragastric infusion. If the enrichment is lower with i.g. than with i.v. infusion, then i.v. administration of tracer will lead to an underestimate of flux. This, in fact, has been found, as Table 17A shows. Unfortunately, the corollary, that precursor activity should be lower with i.g. infusion of tracer, is not so far supported by the data. If with leucine infusions KIC is taken as precursor, Hoerr et al (1991) found virtually identical enrichments of plasma KIC by both routes in both fed and fasted states (Table 17B). There is therefore a puzzle here which has not yet been resolved, but which emphasizes the uncertainty still existing about the appropriate precursor for measurements of whole body turnover. One may also recall the old studies of Golden & Waterlow (1977) in which 14C leucine was infused for 24 h the route of administration being switched from i.v. to i.g., or vice versa, half-way through the infusion, with no effect on the plateau labelling of leucine in plasma. From the practical point of view of the present enquiry, the effect of underestimating the flux in i.v. infusions would be to underestimate oxidation and hence the requirement.

10.3. Adaptation
In the classical studies of Nicol & Phillips (1976) in Nigeria, village men were in negative N balance on an essentially protein-free diet (14 mg/kg/d), but came into positive balance and gained weight when the diet was supplemented with egg to provide an intake of 61 mg N/ kg/d, which is little more than the obligatory loss. The Nigerians utilized the egg protein more efficiently (NPU 0.90) than subjects in California (NPU 0.75). A similar high efficiency of utilization of milk protein was observed in children recovering from malnutrition (Chan & Waterlow, 1966).
Two points arise from these studies. The first is whether the state of 'adaptation' described in the Nigerians is acceptable. My view, discussed earlier (section 2), is that this kind of long-term adaptation, with a low body weight and probably a reduced muscle mass, is not acceptable. The fact that the Nigerian men gained weight when given a marginal protein supplement suggests that they were well below Millward's set-point for body protein. Others might contend differently; it is very interesting that, in the Minnesota experiment, when the body weight of the subjects had come down to a body mass index of 16.7, they developed severe psychological and physical symptoms, whereas Indians and Nigerians, who have lived all their lives at this BMI, cope quite well. But the problem remains, that in evaluating states of adaptation it is almost impossible to avoid subjective judgements (Waterlow, 1990).
On the other hand, adjustment of protein metabolism to variations in intake is a part of normal life, and so the second question is how long does this physiological adaptation take? Rand et al (1976) and Bodwell et al (1979) have produced curves showing the change in urinary N output on moving from a normal to a zero protein intake. Rand showed that urinary N decreased according to a single exponential, in agreement with the older findings of Martin & Robison (1922). He suggested that the output might be regarded as 'stabilized' when it was within 1 s.d. of the theoretical output at infinite time. The mean time to reach stability was 4.5 d (range 3-10). The reduction in N output is accompanied, at least in the rat, by coordinated decreases in the activity of the urea cycle enzymes, glutamate dehydrogenase and alanine and as part ate aminotransferases , which presumably play a role in feeding N into the urea cycle (Schimke, 1964; Stephen & Waterlow, 1968; Das & Waterlow, 1974). This adaptation, which we may regard as physiological, takes 30 h in the rat and, from the data of Rand and Bodwell, 6-7 d in man. Presumably the effect of the reductions in enzyme activity is not only to reduce the amount of N excreted but also to improve the efficiency with which N is utilized. In the balance studies of Atinmo et al (1988), in which diets of different protein content were fed for 10-day periods, the NPU improved from 52 at an intake of 0.75 g/kg/d to 91 at 0.3 g over a period of 3-4 weeks.
Further evidence of the need for a period of adaptation in tracer balance studies is the sensitivity of fasting oxidation rates to preceding intake (Figure 3). Therefore it would be unwise to accept the contention of Zello et al (1990) that a period of adaptation is not necessary. Incidentally, Zello recalls that in Rose's experiments, exclusion of a single amino acid from the diet led to anorexia, irritability and fatigue. No such symptoms have been reported in the MIT studies.
To test the adequacy of the 6 d period of adaptation, Young et al (1987) explored the effects of keeping the subjects on the test diets (7, 14 and 30 mg/kg/d) for a further 2 weeks, after which they received leucine at a generous level. The results of this study deserve to be given in some detail. Table 18 shows that leucine balance improved after 3 weeks on the diet compared with 1 week as a result of a fall in fed-state oxidation. However, in the two low intake groups this was achieved at a cost of a sharp decline in the rate of protein synthesis. Young, following Beaton (1985), calls this an 'accommodation', i.e. making the best of a bad job after the limits of physiological adaptation have been passed. A normal rate was restored after 3 days on the generous intake. The groups on the lower intakes went into positive N balance on refeeding, which indicates a degree of depletion or deviation from their setpoint (see also Fisher et al, 1965).
There are some further points of interest about this study. On the two lower intakes plasma leucine concentrations fell, as did the rates of appearance (Ra) of leucine in plasma as a result of protein breakdown (not shown in Table). One might then postulate the following regulatory mechanism: Persistently low leucine intake ® reduced Ra ® fall in plasma leucine ® reduced oxidation. It is noteworthy also from the figure in Young's paper that there is no evidence of longer exposure to the low diet altering the sensitivity of the relation between oxidation rate and plasma leucine level.

Rates of oxidation synthesis (non-oxidative disposal and breakdown (appearance) have been corrected with a precursor factor of 0.8.
Marchini et al (1993) carried out what was essentially a repetition of Young et al's study, except that the intakes of all the IAAs were modified together, according to the FAO or MIT patterns. In this experiment there were no significant differences between 1 week and 3 weeks on the diet at either level, although balances on the FAO diet were lower than on the MIT diet. This again suggests that an unbalanced diet in which the level of only one amino acid is low is less well tolerated than one in which the intakes of all the amino acids are reduced (see section 8).
On the basis of these results it looks as if, on marginal or inadequate intakes, a longer period of adaptation brings the subjects more nearly into balance by reducing oxidative losses. Nevertheless, this balance may not be an adequate criterion. The reduction in the rate of protein synthesis suggests that the physiological is merging into the pathological. Even the 'undernourished' labourers of Soares et al (1991), who presumably have had a marginal intake all their lives, show no reduction in protein synthesis per unit body weight or lean body mass.
From the practical point of view it seems that one week on the diet is probably about right to allow for physiological adaptation. The experiments of Marchini et al (1993) support this view.
10.4. The nature of the meal
It is possible that a diet in which the protein component consists of crystalline amino acids that are very rapidly absorbed might have a different metabolic effect than one in which the proteins are being continuously hydrolysed as they pass down the digestive tract, and much of the nitrogen absorbed as di- and tri-peptides. The only direct comparison that I know of is the study of Bailey & Clark (1976). They obtained identical small positive balances on a rice-wheat diet and an isonitrogenous diet of the same amino acid composition, made up of crystalline amino acids. Millward (personal communication) reports recent experiments by French workers showing that the efficiency of post-prandial protein deposition was some 30% greater with casein than with a hydrolysate containing oligopeptides.
Another problem is whether small hourly meals have a different effect from food eaten in a normal meal pattern. This is a subject that needs further research.
10.5. Immobilization
The standard protocol of the tracer balance studies requires immobilization of the subject in bed for at least 8h, and it is possible that this may have a negative effect on the balance. In people with fractures or in children with muscular dystrophy, muscles that are immobilized have a reduced rate of protein synthesis with atrophy of type I (glycolytic) muscle fibres (Gibson et al, 1987, 1988; Tucker et al, 1981). Not very much research seems to have been done on the effects of immobilization on whole body metabolism. In a study on mobile and immobile elderly people (Lehmann & James, 1985) the immobile had higher rates of protein turnover and lower rates of oxidation than the mobile. This result, which is the opposite of what one might expect, may be because the immobile are more likely to be sick. Deitrick et al (1948), in the aftermath of World War II, carried out a remarkable experiment in which four subjects were immobilized in bed for 6-7 weeks with a pelvic girdle and their legs encased in plaster casts. The urinary N rose to a maximum on the 5th to the 8th day, with an average increase of 2.5 g N/d by the 5th day. There was also an increased output of calcium, phosphorus and potassium and a small increase in the urinary ratio of nitrogen to sulphur. Schonheyder et al (1954) did a similar experiment in which three subjects were put to bed with both their legs in plaster. They showed an even larger increase in N loss after several days, averaging 9 g/d, but inspection of the charts shows no effect at all on the first day.
In another study with a single dose of 15N-glycine, bed rest and ambulatory conditions were compared (Ang et al, 1992). Synthesis and breakdown both fell during bed rest, but there were no differences in nitrogen excretion.
I conclude that partial immobilization for less than a day is unlikely to have had a significant effect on the tracer balances.

My has is been ages! Almost a year I think? My blog has fallen by the wayside again. Lots has happened and many projects completed over time between postings!
Quilting has has captured my heart these days, and a generous gift of a new yarn stash has inspired so many new fall knitting projects. I also have been behind the camera quite a bit, experimenting and learning new things. I have even done a little traveling. Solo! Can you believe it!?
Its been fun. I really should share more. Perhaps this is a step in that direction.

summer fun
So much has been going on. First birthdays, camping, little weekend adventures, biking around the city, swimming, cooking out, beer by the fire, and lots of family time. Its been a good summer that's blazing by waaaay too fast. I am glad to be out enjoying it. I hope you are too.

First Harvest!
Our garden has really been going strong this year. Aside from our leaf lettuce and herbs, this was our first harvest from our little garden. They are dwarf carrots and taste a gazillion times better than any carrot from the market. Our zucchini and cucumbers are doing well too. We also have quite a few tomatoes ready to ripen. I can't wait!
Just like knitting and sewing, there's just something so rewarding about creating something from your hard work or your own hands- and sometimes yummy too!

Silly Guy
GreyGrey (as we lovingly call him) is getting so very big. He will be celebrating his First Birthday the end of July!
We are all enjoying the warmer weather, toting gear and baby pools and swim diapers to the grandparents for lots of fun and entertainment, and dare I say relaxing? So worth it. He's all about a good splash in the baby pool. And I am all about a happy 10 month old.

Methodes Stats

 We have developed in the group different statistical tools relevant for our research. Besides numerical simulations on cosmological scales, we investigate statistical techniques in order to perform cosmological parameter estimations, galaxy cluster caracterization or non gaussianity tests on CMB maps.
  Cosmological parameter estimations
 Over the years the use of CMB anisotropy data has become standard procedure to perform cosmological parameter estimations. In order to do so, one has to compare theoretical models (varying the cosmological parameters) to the data (the CMB angular power spectrum estimates of every experiment) through a likelihood function. As the number of parameters investigated increases, the number of likelihood values to be computed increases as well. And so the computational time. Different ways are possible in order to test a family (different sets of parameters) of models against data. First, in a kind of frequentist way, one can sample the range of possible values of each free parameter and compute the likelihood value for each step. This gives a grid of likelihood (models) of dimension the number of parameters and of size in each dimension the number of steps. The maximum (likelihood) of the grid gives the best model and further work gives the confidence level on each parameter. The second way, more of the bayesian kind, is based on Monte Carlo Markov Chains. The principle is to restrict the number of models/likelihoods to be computed to the one near the best model. In order to do so, the Markov Chain is generating a path in the N-parameter space which takes into account the shape of the likelihood function (close to a N-dimensional minimization process). In that case the number of likelihood evaluation grows linearly with the number of parameters (as opposed to exponentially in the case of grid computations). Both methods have advantages and disadvantages; that why we have both techniques applied to CMB data analysis.
 However, CMB alone can not constrain several parameters (degeneracies), and the addition of other cosmological probes is necessary. The procedure remains similar in the case of combinations analyses. One has to compute the likelihood of the new dataset which will be multiplied to the CMB one.
  Non Gaussianity tests

Facebook the largest social networking platform went public a few weeks ago, and not everyone may have been able to 'like' how the market reacted. Regardless of where the stock price is, theres no question that Facebook has been a pioneer in bringing change (good and bad) in regards to how people communicate with each other, from its initial beginnings in a Harvard dorm room to the major makeover known as Timeline.The recent uproar regarding Facebooks IPO may be shifting attention to a debate around the value of the stock. However, that makes little difference to the fact that Facebook is a growing and important social networking platform and is still poised to be an important player in any social recruiting strategy. Let us assess some of these important characteristics.Facebook Continues to Have a Massive ReachLets look at what Facebook has achieved over the past eight years. As of March 2012, the social network has 901 million active users. Through all the interface changes, privacy concerns, and personnel drama, Facebook has continued to grow, with its reach spreading worldwide.For many, Facebook is a constant presence in their lives, serving as the most popular method for communicating with their friends and family. The average user now spends roughly eight hours per month on Facebook (a few years ago, it was five). In addition, Facebook also captures 14.6 percent of an Internet users time when compared to a combined two percent for all other social networking sites. Whats the takeaway? Facebook will continue to grow and evolve despite bad press or hiccups along the way.The Popular Hangout for TalentAccording to a recent infographic, 93 percent of organizations are actively using social networks to recruit new employees and its pretty obvious why. With half of the worlds Internet users on the platform, Facebook is bound to be an ideal place for recruiters to promote jobs, source candidates, and get some background information.Recent data indicates that Facebook is one of the top social networks for job searching, with 44 percent of users using the platform to find a career. Highly social users (called super socials) are even savvier: 28 percent found their last job through social networking platforms, and 85 percent of those did so through Facebook.For recruiters, Facebook can easily contribute in building a full picture for a candidate. Since there are many job seekers on the social network, its easier to gauge how a candidate can fit in with company culture and with certain teams based on how they present themselves on the platform. Its a good supplement to have for both parties, in addition to a cover letter and a resume.Effective Social Recruiting Takes Some WorkAlthough we can firmly assess that job seekers are using Facebook to find a desirable career, the way recruiters should seek these candidates may be the real challenge. As weve recently seen, strategies like asking for a candidates Facebook password isnt the right way to go when utilizing social recruitment. Like any campaign, social recruitment takes work, persistence, and perhaps some trials and errors.First, figure out what youre looking for in a candidate. For instance, perhaps youd like them to be local, hold a Masters degree, and currently employed in your industry. Once youve got a target candidate description, you can, of course, freely search through Facebook. However, a better way is to use a social recruitment platform that specializes in attracting, managing and recruiting the right talent. Next-gen platforms would allow organizations to involve their employees in the recruiting process by providing them with an easy way to share open jobs with their contacts on various social networks. This helps you gain the right candidates on Facebook without going through the hassle of blind searching and cold-calling.When all referral information is tracked and you have the ability to collect comments and feedback from various referring sources, the amount of information received on a candidate through this mechanism provides great insights into how suitable the candidate would be for working from a cultural fit perspective.Regardless of where the stock price is, Facebook is still a viable platform to find candidates. Users arent going away just yet and the platform is still growing. At the moment, Facebook has one of the most engaged user bases in the world, and it has continued to improve the level of engagement for that user base over the past eight years, whether weve realized it or not.What do you think? What else does Facebooks IPO mean to social recruiting? What are some things you see for the future?About Sajjad MasudSajjad Masud is Co-founder & CEO of Simplicant, a cloud-based recruiting platform transforming the talent acquisition market and making enterprise-level recruiting technology accessible to companies of all sizes. Simplicant's collaborative platform includes social recruiting and redefined candidate relationship management to help organizations optimize their cost and time per hire.

Shenzhen has a time-honored history of more than 1,600 years, and the people lived and reproduced in the area as early as Neolithic Age.
It functioned as a garrison station for the Baiyue people in the Xia (2,070 B.C. -1,600 B.C.) and the Shang Dynasty (1,600 B.C.-1,046 B.C.), who made a fishing life along the sea. Nanhai, Guilin and Xiang Prefectures were established by Emperor Qinshi in the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C.-206 B.C.), with Shenzhen as a part of Xiang Prefecture, and it was called Bao'an County in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317 A.D.-420 A.D.).
It was the transportation hub on the Marine Silk Road in the Song Dynasty (960 A.D.-1,279 A.D.), which was abundant in salt, pearls and spices. It remained functioning as a county- Xin'an County in the Ming Dynasty (1,368- A.D.-1,644 A.D.), including the present Hong Kong and Shenzhen, which continued functioning as the economic center in south part of China during the Qing Dynasty (1,616 A.D.-1,911 A.D.). Shenzhen got its present name in 1979, and it became the first special economic zone of China in 1980.
Shenzhen covers an area of 2,020 square kms in all, among which the land area is 1,953 square kms and Shenzhen special economic zone is 327.5 square kms, and it administers 6 districts, namely, Futian District, Luohu District, Nanshan District, Yantian District, Bao'an District and Longgang District respectively, realizing regional economic integration in 2010. Shenzhen special economic zone is 49 kms from west to east and 7 kms from south to north, with Anle Village in the west, Shenzhen River in the south, Wutong Mountain and Yangtai Mountain in the north and Dapeng Bay in the east.
Shenzhen is a multi-ethnic city with 56 ethnic groups living harmoniously in the city, and the total number of people has reached as many as 14.5 million by 2010, among whom the ethnic minority people reach 0.36 million. Mandarin is widely spoken in Shenzhen (Guangdong Province) of China, and Hakka language, Chaozhou language and Cantonese are main native languages among the local people.

EN 208 / Alignment Protection against Laser radiation
This norm refers to glasses for laser alignment. They will reduce the actual incident power to the power of a class II laser (< 1 mW for continuous wave lasers). Lasers denoted as class II are regarded as eye safe if the blink reflex is working normally. Alignment glasses allow the user to see the beam spot while aligning the laser.
This is only possible for visible lasers (according to this norm "visible lasers" are defined as being from 400nm to 700nm). Alignment glasses must also withstand a direct hit from the specified laser for at least 5 seconds (cw) or 50 pulses (pulsed mode) under standardised conditions.

My dad is a big man. He is 6'6″ (yes, he is the same height as Michael Jordan). He is also 250 pounds. If you know me, you know that I am only 5'8″ and about 160 pounds. I am almost a foot shorter and almost a hundred pounds lighter. My dad was like many fathers of his generation, he was not always home, he yelled instead of talked, and many times, he failed. He failed as a man, a husband, and a father. There are many thing he could have done better.
This is the point where many writers, pastors, authors, etc. would come to tell you about how God is a perfect father who can succeed where many of our earthly fathers have failed. This is true. He is a perfect Father and many of our earthly fathers have failed. We should look to God to fulfill the failures of our dads in our childhood. I have heard many of these sermons in my life. Most times they cause an outbreak of tears among young men who have realized they were giving dear ol' dad way too much credit, or that they have been looking up to a sub-par role model their entire lives.
Often, these sermons or books end with a young man shaking his fist at the heavens while boldly promising they will NEVER be like their old man. They will not be absentee, they will spend time with their kids, they will be gentle, loving, and caring, unlike their fathers before them. They promise to do what has never been done before; they will be the perfect dad. I have heard these promises time and time again in prayer and bible studies. I have read them in books and on blogs. But herein lies the problem: these are prideful statements said out of a broken heart and a wounded spirit. They are lofty promises driven by pride and pain which cannot be obtained.
Let me share with you the truth(s) that I have learned since being a dad; I am just as much of a failure as my dad. No matter how hard I have tried, or how much I have learned, or how much I have promised I would never do, I still fail. I have snapped at my kids, I have treated them unfairly. I get upset when they do not do the things I want them too, or when they do the things they should not do. I do not spend nearly as much time with them as I should. Many times I do not teach them when they have done something wrong. Instead I move quickly to discipline or punishment. I am not always like God as a Father. I am a sinner who still cannot measure up to the idealism of what a father should be. I do not look anything like the picture of a father I painted in my head.
One thing I have seen in myself is I don't try to be more like my heavenly Father. I am simply trying to be better than my earthly father. Instead of trying to be more like my creator, I am trying to simply prove that I have obtained some sort of level or degree my dad never reached, one he never even knew about. I am trying to prove to myself that I can be a better dad because at some points in my life my dad did not do as I wanted; I was unable to become his god. I did not always get my way and I was pissed about it. I think if we are honest, men, many of us are like this. It is not that our fathers were so awful, it is that they did not bow to our beck and call. They did not do all the things we wanted them to do. Our pride was exponentially wounded. While our dads were not perfect, we sons were not perfect either. We failed to heed their advice or to honor them because their wills and ideals did not agree with our own.
Instead of trying to measure up to our dads, as fathers, we should be seeking to honor God. This means we should understand our propensity to fail and be forgiven, just as our kids will fail, and should be forgiven. It's time to stop trying to be the perfect dad, or the dad we never had, but instead strive to be fathers like our Father, and live in His grace, mercy, understanding, and wisdom.

Im a product of the Vietnam War.
I was for the war in Afghanistan and against the war in Iraq. We have spent blood and treasure needlessly.
In Syria, we should be collecting evidence to file charges against Bashar al-Assad in the world court. Our police do not shoot everyone and let God sort them out.
They collect evidence and file criminal charges against them as they should. Shooting missiles into Syria solves nothing and leads to some negatives: innocent people could be killed, we again will spend money we dont have needlessly.
And what do we do if he repats a chemical attack? Lets deal with Assad the right way, in court.

Canadian American Strategic Review
BackgroundCF Projects
In DetailIndex
DND 101Index
Background — Canadian Forces Mobile Gun System (MGS) Project
Note: DND's Mobile Gun System Project has been eclipsed by the Tank Replacement Project. MMEV and LAV TUA are also cancelled.
The Mobile Gun System – "... a mighty maze! But not without a plan." In October of 2003, "the acquisition of a mobile gun system" for the CF was announced by John McCallum then-Minister of National Defence. The vehicle in question is based on the US M1128 Stryker MGS, itself an extremely controversial weapon. For Canada, MGS would be part ofa system-of-systems for Direct Fire Support. Three vehicles were planned, all based on the serving LAV III.
"... like fire he meets the foe, And strikes him dead for thine and thee" The MGS would be the CF's Medium Direct Fire system, serving along- side the LAV TUA and planned Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle. There is considerable opposition to MGS based both on the performance of the system and on the concept. DND takes pains to point out that MGS is not a tank ('self-propelled gun' better describes the system ) although, at least in the direct fire support role, MGS would replace the Leopard C2 main battle tank. And, the main armament is the same stabilized L7A3 105mm gun [1] for use against opposing armour and other hard targets. Critics have two main questions: is the 105mm gun still able to defeat opposing tanks, and can MGS (with its high centre of gravity) maintain stability when firing that 105mm?
Roots: the Stryker Brigade Combat Team So what exactly is the Mobile Gun System? The US Army SBCT is made up of a family of LAV III variants (and other fast-moving wheeled vehicles). MGS would be the DFS component (alongside the in-service TOW missile launcher). The LAV III hull is lower at the rear to mount a Low-Profile Turret [2] allowing both gunner and crew commander to be sat almost entirely in the hull. [3] But the MGS' centre of gravity remains high and the system still battles critical weight problems.
Weight is the problem of most interest to DND. The US Army insisted that MGS be tailored to Hercules tactical transports. GDLS, the makers of MGS, have had trouble meeting that stipulation without removing vital add-on armour. Fortunately for the CF, the Canadian order is a rider on the US system – if GDLS cannot satisfy the US Army, MGS production will not proceed. If successful, DND planned to buy 66 MGS for just under $600M. But, the mix of DFS types was reviewed by LGen Leslie and MGS and MMEV look like dead ends. Still, operational experience in Afghanistan show the need for large-calibre DFS. The 66 remaining CF Leopard C2 tanks have received at least a reprieve.
[1] The MGS's main gun is a M68A1 (US version of the Leopard's British-designed 105mm L7A3). In the MGS, an 8-round carousel feeds ammunition to the breech, firing up to 18 rounds per minute. Germany's Rheinmetall has already proposed an upgunned MGS – replacing the original rifled L7/M68 gun with a new smooth-bore 105mm cannon based on technology from Rheinmetall's famous 120mm L/44 series. [2] By their very nature, low-profile turrets are extremely complex and the MGS autoloader has recently been redesigned. An 8-rd carousel magazine presents shells to the breech (a 10-rd replenisher brings total rounds to only 18 carried). MGS can fire the usual 105mm armour- piercing rounds but emphasis has shifted to bunker-busting and shotgun-like anti-personnel canister rounds (effective from 50m to 500m). [3] The LPT was developed by General Dynamics Land Systems which has since also taken over LAV III/Stryker development. Since the LPT is an 'in house' piece, it is unlikely that GDLS would favour the suggestions made by some to substitute a less controversial turret. As for weight, Strykers were not to exceed a 17,300kg Hercules weight restriction. Prototype MGS weighed in at 20,454kg. An aggressive weight reduction began in early 2002. Currently, MGS weight is 18,770kg (although this may not include 2,300-to-3,600kg for slat armour).

Farmers with New Roots for Refugees show off their produce at The Don Bosco Center at Garfield and Independence Avenue. Founded by Catholic Charities of Northeast Kansas in partnership with the Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture, New Roots for Refugees began with a humble community garden in 2005 and in 2008, expanded its mission to include a training farm program for refugees. A number of refugee farmers are utilizing the 9-acre training farm in Kansas City, Kan., at Juniper Gardens. The goal is to help refugees start their own small business, growing and selling vegetables. Last year, 30 refugees participated in the community garden program to grow food for their own families. Pictured below: Mary Landford of Liberia assists several customers with their purchases; Fresh produce lines the table and includes eggplant, okra, greens, peppers, squash and more; Refugee farmers watch over their produce; Suiling Ling sells produce to one of The Don Bosco Centers employees.

Orchard Street Chop Shop
Online Reservations
I took my wife and kids to the Chop Shop for my wife's 40th birthday. It was a fantastic hit with everyone. The food was amazing and the service was as well. My children are 8 and 10 and the kids menu was a total hit with them, they had the kids filet mignon. It was so refreshing to have a kids option at a nice restaurant that wasn't mac 'n cheese. So impressed, we'll be sure to be back again. THanks CHop Shop for making my wife's birthday a memorable one!
Had the pleasure of dinning there on Thursday, August 8th...From the time we arrived to the time we left we were treated like royalty. Our entrees were cooked exactly as we ordered, the presentation was only second to the taste and quality of the food. Julie our waitress was awesome, and the chef/owner "Koz" took time to came over and talked to us for about 5 minutes, showing an interest not only the how we were enjoying the food but told us all about the dining room which was undergoing some renovations. We have dined at numerous steak houses from Portland to Boston and this is as good as any of them. We will be back on our next trip to that area...Can't wait, keep up the good work!!!
Every thing was fine with just 1 exception. It was a rather slow night and it took at least 40 min between our appetizers and dinner being served. This was excessive and really no excuse on such a slow night.
Went to the Orchard Street Chop Shop for the first time to celebrate our 35th anniversary. While not cheap, the food was worth every penny -- the steaks were perfectly cooked and the sides were appropriate and excellent. The only criticism would be the lack of a second "salad" plate which would have been handy for the caprice salad we shared. Service was outstanding: the waitress was knowledgeable in the menu and he wine list. We'll be back.
My husband and I saw a review of this restaurant on Phantom Gourmet and had to go! The building is an old firehouse which adds to the dining experience. Nice, courteous wait-staff, delicious menu and wine selection! Will definitely visit again. We drove about an hour and it was well worth the trip!

Beginning on May 21st through June 3rd, 2012 locally the Duluth Police Department, St. Louis County Sheriff's Office, Hermantown Police Department, Proctor Police Department, Floodwood Police Department, UMD Police Department and Minnesota State Patrol are joining 400 Minnesota law enforcement agencies statewide that will increase seatbelt enforcement in a "Click It or Ticket" campaign. The Minnesota primary seat belt law requires drivers and all passengers to be buckled up or in the correct child restraint or booster seat. Law enforcement officers will stop and ticket motorists for seat belt violations — including unbelted passengers.
Properly wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger occupants by 45 percent in a car and 60 percent in a light truck. Seat belts are the most effective means of protecting oneself from injury while riding in a vehicle.
In a crash, odds are six-times greater for injury if a motorist is not buckled up. An unbelted motorist can crash into a windshield and slam into and injure other passengers. Often, an unbelted motorist is ejected from the vehicle and killed. Seat belts restrain motorists in the vehicle's designed protective space, giving them room to live in the event of a crash.

a. Suppose you want to remove ten fish of an exotic species that have illegally been introduced to a lake. You have three possible removal methods. Assume that q1, q2 and q3 are, respectively, the amount of fish removed by each method that you choose to use so that the goal will be accomplished by any combination of methods such that q1 +q2 +q3=10. If the marginal costs of each removal method are, respectively, $10q1, $5q2, and $2.5q3, how much of each method should you use to achieve the removal cost-effectively?
b. Why isn't an exclusive use of method 3 cost-effective?
c. Suppose that the three marginal costs were constant (not increasing as in the previous case) such that MC1=$10, MC2=$5, and MC3=$2.5. What is the cost-effective outcome in that case?
