Comments about The North Face Paramount Valley Convertible Pants - Women's - 2012 Closeout:
I got these online, otherwise I wouldn't have bought them after trying them on. I have a fairly average build so I feel it's fair to say that these pant legs are made too narrow for an average woman's thigh to still allow her to comfortably lift her leg as she would need to on a hike. The fabric doesn't stretch, so there isn't any give on these.
If you have skinnier legs than the average woman then these might work for you. I exchanged these in-store for a pair of convertible Prana pants that stretch nicely and are fairly comparable to this design, but with much more freedom of movement.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. A candlelight vigil was held Thursday night for two women hit and killed while crossing the street in Colorado Springs.
Rebecca Robinson and Rose Arcuragi-Coulier were killed Monday morning while crossing North Carefree near Picturesque Drive when an SUV slammed into them.
Robinson's 14-month-old daughter was also hit, but is expected to recover. She was in a stroller at the time.
The memorial started around 8 p.m. Thursday.
Dozens of community members, friends and family members gathered where the accident happened to remember the two women.
Folks carried candles from the neighborhood where the women lived, then crossed North Carefee, temporarily stopping traffic.
Once at the memorial, they shared hugs, tears and stories about the two women they say were deeply loved.
Danielle Christensen, Rose's daughter said, "It's emotional, but it's good to know they have so many people that care about them."
Danielle said, Rebecca was a very good friend. So, she basically lost two close people to her.
"It's been a struggle and I'm moving out of the neighborhood because everyday I walk out the door, I have to see this area and see where they were killed."
She hopes there will be changes, like a lower speed limit or signs to let drivers know the dangers of the intersection.
The tragic accident also has many community members wondering about the safety of the street. Many said, North Carefree is a busy road and a hot spot for accidents.
Rich Coulier, Rose's brother was also at the memorial. "I hope that people will just slow down if you're in a neighborhood slow down, that's all there is to it. Watch where you're going."
The driver in the crash, Jennifer Eggleton has been charged with careless driving resulting in death and pedestrians right of way in a crosswalk, even thought there isn't a crosswalk at the intersection.
In lieu of flowers, memorials have been set up for both women.
They include, the Rose Arcuragi-Coulier Memorial Fund in care of Wells Fargo Bank.
And donations can be made to the Rebecca L. Dillen Robinson memorial at U.S. Bank.
Donations may be dropped of at any U.S. Bank location or by mail: U.S. Bank, 6 South Tejon Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80903.

3G for Moblin 2.1
The Moblin project has released version 2.1 of its Linux system optimized for Intel Atom processors. It provides countless detailed changes and new features.
According to the announcement from Imad Sousou, director of Intel's Open Source Technology Center, the current release incorporates many bugfixes based on feedback from users and the developer community. The browser was first among important changes that included extended plugin support and a new graphical interface that scales well to nettops with higher screen resolutions.
Other new features include support for Ericsson 3G modems (with other such modems to follow) and a modified ConnMan connection manager that also supports 3G. All mobile browsing limitations have thus been eliminated.
Also newly integrated in Moblin is the Application Installer that draws applications from the Moblin Garage. With an upgrade to Clutter 1.0, animations have undergone quite some improvement, although multitouch support is still missing in the current release.
Moblin also incorporates instant messaging improvements and new localizations. A community translation project goes further by supporting languages not yet officially part of Moblin.
Apart from Clutter 1.0, developers have added a few components to the Linux system, among them Kernel 2.6.31, X Server 1.6.4 and Mesa 7.6.
Moblin 2.1 is available for download as images from Linux kernel mirrors.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
But of the quartet – who all featured in the 2013 RBS 6 Nations – only Gray got a taste of the Test atmosphere against the Aussies, coming off the bench for the last four minutes in the final clash.
However Warburton insists that the Scots certainly played their part in the 2-1 victory over the Wallabies and even left a lasting impression on the flanker.
"What it proved again was that it is very hard to get picked for the Lions, but the Scottish players made a big impression on the tour," he said.
"Physically, Richie Gray is one of the most impressive players I have ever come across in the game. He says he's only 6ft 9in but he's 6ft 10in, and for a guy of that size to have such good co-ordination, running and handling skills is something else. And his strength in the gym really impressed the guys on tour.
"Stuart Hogg is the closest thing to Shane Williams in terms of his footwork that I've ever seen. He left guys on their backside in training and the rest of us laughing quite a lot.
"Ryan Grant was also one of the most popular guys on tour, despite not being in at the start. He is a down-to-earth, relaxed lad but his scrummaging impressed a lot of guys, and he also had some good songs, which went down well with the squad.
"And Sean Maitland was similar: a down-to-earth, easygoing guy but also a real quality player who will be another danger in the Scottish backs this season.
"Any of those guys could have played in the Tests, and that was the case right through the squad."

Basically we have a button with the following:

Anybody any ideas?

Thread: What names have we missed?
June 6th, 2013 05:54 PM #596
I just noticed that a bunch of Icelandic names I found in books are missing. For boys, Petúr is the variant of Peter (and it is also missing from the list of Peter's international variants), Bjartur even though I have no idea where it comes from (maybe Arthur?), and Erlendur which means foreigner (Erlend is also the first name of one of the singers of the Norwegian band Kings of Convenience). For girls, Sóllilja which means sun lily in translation, and is the middle name of the daughter of the protagonist of Independent People, a book by Halldór Laxness. Speaking of well-known Icelandinc personalities, Jónsi is the frontman of the band Sigur Rós; I think it is a variant of John, but I'm not so sure.
Also, I second everything finuneby has said about Italian names. We also have Pierluigi in the Pier+something family, and Tiziano -like the painter- is not uncommon either, just like Tiziana.Irene; Name lover in her twenties; single; Languages student by day, writer by night.
Current favorites, not in order:
Emily - Evelyn - Hadley - Alice - Emma - Olivia - Zoey - Greta - Eden - Jezebel - Zelda - Anna - Charlotte
Ethan - Adam - William - Peter - Harvey - Galen - Kenneth - Kieran - Theo - Zander - Daniel - Ezra - Gabriel - Blake

I know there are more pressing issues with NB at the moment, but I hope this thread still gets checked every once in a while!
I have loads I could add, but the one I've been most surprised at not being in the database is Aled, which bethlow mentioned pages back. It was once at #312 in the E&W stats, it is still in the top 1000 and was in the Welsh top 100 for a while. It's a name most people would know over here as I'd say Aled Jones is a fairly well known blokeWilliam - Peter - Thomas ~ Rose - Morwenna - Eliza

Yeah, I really hope some Turkish and Farsi names get added... there are very, very few. Two I'm stunned aren't in here: Mavi and Levent, both Turkish boys names.

Kanoa and Keoni are two Hawaiian names for boys. Kanoa can be used for girls, but I believe it is mostly used for boys.
And a more outlandish Hawaiian name... Lili'oukalani. (Lee-lee-ooo-kuh-lah-nee) I know, I know...but I think its stunning. A little history, it was the name of the last monarch of Hawaii, and the only queen that ever reigned.
Also, Ka'iulani. (Kuh-ee-ooo-lah-nee). Search her on google and find her full name! (Haha have fun pronouncing that!) She was the princess Hawaii and the heir to the thrown.
These are technically their middle names, but it was they were called.Boys: Maxwell, Bennett, Oliver, Elliott and Archer.
Girls: Rose, Juliet, Aria, Cora and Scarlett
Sorry for any random spellings. I'm probably on my nook!

Yes, thank you! My daughters name is Isolina and I get crap for it constantly so it is my mission in life to get it listed on name boards. I don't know what I have to do to get them to include it. I have emailed and even received confirmation that they would add it but that was ages ago. I <3 The National, btw.

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013Remember when people cared about Digg? I know, it's been a while, but back when Digg was at its height, there was a phenomenon known as the Digg Effect. The Digg Effect occurred whenever a site would hit the front page of Digg, sending tons of traffic to the site and causing the servers to crash. Simply put, most websites just weren't able to handle the traffic that came with hitting the front page of Digg, and as a result, marketers and site owners would end up missing out on opportunities to cash in on their content going viral.
While Digg might not get much love anymore, the Digg Effect is still very much a real thing. These days, content goes viral through Twitter ReTweets and Facebook shares or on sites like ReddIt. And just like back in Digg's glory days, many websites still struggle to stay up when they have content that goes viral.
With all this in mind, it's important to take a look at your own website. If you're trying to drive traffic to your website, it's important to make sure your website can actually handle that traffic if your marketing efforts are successful. If your website can't handle a spike in traffic, you will:
- Disappoint visitors
- Lose visitors as many won't come back if your website is down
- Fail to enjoy the benefits that can come with viral marketing success
- Look unprofessional in the eyes of your audience

8 Best Lip and Cheek Stains -- and the 3 Worst
See which makeup finds from Benefit, Tarte, CoverGirl and more have our readers glowing and rosy, and which are big disappointments
Why: "GPA: Genius Product Alert," claims one reviewer. She continues to explain why the cheek stain is a "can't-miss" product. "Tarte takes the guesswork out of finding a truly natural, flushed-from-within blush. I own this in Flush, Tipsy and Blushing Bride, and love them all. Glides on easily over any foundation, blends in like a dream and provides a dewier look than powder blushers -- great for all ages. Classic and fresh." Another woman says it's "the perfect blush for a natural-looking flush. Gives a dewy, snow-bunny look. So easy to use. Tipsy is my fave -- perfect peach for fair skin. The mini sets are cute too, with some fun seasonal shades to try out." And if the price has got you flushed, many reviewers claim that this product "lasts forever," making it worth the investment.

Totally agree with the Revlon stain being the worst! Glad I'm not alone!

Several popular products mentioned and described well; what was missing was Tarte's spectacular "LipSurgence" tint which truly hydrates as welll as colors.

i actually really love the revlon just bitten stains and the covergirl outlast. i think that for those theres a system for making them look lovely. you have polish your lips (i love doing a diy lip scrub just sugar and extra virgin olive oil) and then balm your lips allow that to sink in and then apply the product for even lovely coverage

Oh, and I'm scratching my head over the Laura Mercier review. True, it's not really a stain, but it's lovely, and it doesn't cause me any pain. Not sure what those comments were about.

After using Benetint for about a month, I had chronic dry lips. It took forever for the dryness to go away. I won't use it again. I use Body Shop's stain. I have one in my desk at work, my purse, gym bag and in my bathroom. Can't live without it. Sad it wasn't rated here, but I'm excited to try some of the others. I love stains over lipstick.

A local woman is trying to find a new home for a dog found abandoned outside the Los Osos Ralph's. She says the sad situation shows just how bad the pet overpopulation problem is.
San Luis Obispo resident, Jennie Arambel, says her sister found the older Pit bull mix tied up and abandoned on Sunday. He was wearing a sign that read he needed help. Arambel has been taking care of him, and she even named him "Chico."
Since she already has two dogs, she can't afford to keep him, but finding a new home for him has been difficult. According to Arambel, the County Animal Shelter is full, and she worries Chico would be euthanized there. Woods Humane Society has a waiting list to surrender animals, but it won't take strays.
"Just yesterday, the pound, from what I was told, they had 15 owners that had to surrender their animals, so I mean it's just a hard time for everybody," Arambel said.
Arambel says Chico is a sweet, lovable dog who didn't deserve to be abandoned.
"You need to be financially stable and be able to care for your pet and give it love, discipline, affection, and everything it needs. Most importantly, a home. That's mainly what Chico is looking for is a home," Arambel said.
For now, he is staying in a crate in her car, but she hopes he'll find a permanent home soon.
"I just hope somebody out there is looking for a little, older man that still has energy to walk around. Don't let those grey whiskers fool you. He's still got energy. He's got a lot of life in him," Arambel said.
Chico was microchipped, but a search didn't turn up a registered owner. Shadow's Fund, a rescue center in Lompoc, has offered to help by evaluating Chico's health and behavior. They've also offered to help board him.
If you'd like to contact Arambel, you can email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Only use once so far but light and works well.
New Berlin, WI
This is a really handy tool to have around, I have used it for some great circle cuts on laminate, works well with drywall, too. My latest use was for on site repair of a Sears lawn mower. The handle joining bolt fell off while in use, I improvised with a too long bolt and nut combo. Needed to shorten up that bolt. Didn't have a hacksaw or bare blade with me, so I used this tool. It fit right where I needed it, and it made a great flush cut, really quick with a metal blade. Lots of uses, and you can keep the setup on these Nextec tools with you at all times, because of their compact size.I would recommend the Nextec tool setup with at least 2 batteries.

Fairly good tool. Used on 3/16 hard board to cut. Worked good.Didnt use enough to see how long battery lasts. Had enough power.Can use battery on other nextex tools.

this is a very handy and powerfull jigsaw. It's great for doing many jobs that you may have had to get your electric one out to do. Very happy with the saw and will probably purchase all of the Nextec tools
Herndon, VA

I've used this product for a couple of projects. I have an 18v Porter Cable for larger jobs on heavier stock, but this works exceptionally well on small projects ... especially if you're traveling to your daughter's home and KNOW they have no such "animal" ... and you're traveling with limited space. Works with standard blades (quick release and load mechanism) and cuts through metal and small wood pieces (2x6) with NO loss of power. The supplied battery and charger are a PLUS. Didn't run out of juice for the whole project ... and that included metal (thick wire shelving) and a BUNCH of 2x2 and a few cuts on 2x6s. The added LED light is a real plus when you're working in garage spaces while following your cutting marks!

I recently add the Nextec 12v Jig Saw to my tool collection. I really wasn't expecting a lot of power from such a small unit. I was very surprise to find this to be a very powerful tool that is light and very manuverable for making some tight scroll cuts on fairly thick pine boards. I was very pleased with this new Craftsman tool and it is worthy of the name!!
Toledo, OH
I am the owner of 4 other 12 volt Nextec tools and like them a lot. This jigsaw disappoints me in 3 ways. The two button safety/On Off switches are not ergonomically placed to be handy. I must push the on/off button with one hand and the safety button with the other hand. This means you must remove the tool from the work project to turn the saw on. To me that is UNSAFE. The 2nd disappointment is the lack of a swivel base for making cuts on an angle. The 3rd disappointment was the lack of a shop vacuum hookup. I would have also liked to have seen an air puffer to keep the pencil line visible. Now you might think that all these items may be a bit to much to ask for on this unit. I paid $76 dollars for this unit so I do not think I am expecting too much from this tool.
Ellicott City, MD
Great for S-M-A-L-L jobs. Don't expect to create or build furniture with this tool. Kinda' pricey for the amount of usefulness it provides, although it does come with a battery and the premium battery charger. Much easier to use than the Nextec Multi-Saw, which doesn't even provide the battery and charger.

Tour of Duty
A truck's mission to honor paralyzed veterans is realized

While presidential candidate Mitt Romney is capturing the political world's attention at the Republican National Convention, Barack Obama turned to an online social news sharing website, Reddit, to answer questions submitted by the site's tech-savvy audience.
The site garnered hundreds of questions but just a few answers from the executive-in-chief. Minutes before Obama was scheduled to start answering questions, many people couldn't access to the site because of the heavy load.
According to Redditcounter, more than 2 million people were trying to access the site during the 45 minutes the president was answering questions, with as many as 31,000 any given second.
He started off with this: "Hey everybody - this is barack. Just finished a great rally in Charlottesville, and am looking forward to your questions. At the top, I do want to say that our thoughts and prayers are with folks who are dealing with Hurricane Isaac in the Gulf, and to let them know that we are going to be coordinating with state and local officials to make sure that we give families everything they need to recover."
Here are the questions and answers that Obama answered (complete with the original misspellings):
SharkGirl: We know how Republicans feel about protecting Internet Freedom. Is Internet Freedom an issue you'd push to add to the Democratic Party's 2012 platform?
Obama: Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too. We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business. And although their will be occasional disagreements on the details of various legislative proposals, I won't stray from that principle - and it will be reflected in the platform.
PartyInYourMouth: How are you going help small businesses in 2013 and 2014? and what if any bills are you going to impliment for small businesses, in 2013, and 2014?
Obama: We've really focused on this since I came into office - 18 tax cuts for small business, easier funding from the SBA. Going forward, I want to keep taxes low for the 98 percent of small businesses that have $250,000 or less in income, make it easier for small business to access financing, and expand their opportunities to export. And we will be implementing the Jobs Act bill that I signed that will make it easier for startups to access crowd-funding and reduce their tax burden at the start-up stage.
karlfranks: Who's your favourite Basketball player?
Obama: Jordan - I'm a Bulls guy.
Silent1mezzo: What's the recipe for the White House's beer?
Obama: It will be out soon! I can tell from first hand experience, it is tasty.
Suzmerk: What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term?
Obama: Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress - to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.
Fifth Surprise: What was the most difficult decision that you had to make during this term?
Obama: The decision to surge our forces in afghanistan. Any time you send our brave men and women into battle, you know that not everyone will come home safely, and that necessarily weighs heavily on you. The decision did help us blunt the taliban's momentum, and is allowing us to transition to afghan lead - so we will have recovered that surge at the end of this month, and will end the war at the end of 2014. But knowing of the heroes that have fallen is something you never forget.
Daveforamerica: What is the first thing you'll do on November 7th, win or lose?
Obama: Win or lose, I'll be thanking everybody who is working so hard - especially all the volunteers in field offices all across the country, and the amazing young people in our campaign offices.
hmlee: I am recent law school graduate. Despite graduating from a top school, I find myself unemployed with a large student loan debt burden. While I'm sure my immediate prospects will improve in time, it's difficult to be optimistic about the future knowing that my ability to live a productive life -- to have a fulfilling career, to buy a house, to someday raise a family -- is hampered by my debt and the bleak economic outlook for young

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
Intruder in the Dust proved to be one of William Faulkner's most popular novels when it was first published. Set in the late 1940's, it addresses the issue of civil rights for African Americans. In 1949, the novel was made into a film in Oxford, Mississippi.
Lucas Beauchamp, black descendant of the old slaveowner Carothers McCaslin, refuses to fit into the social pattern of race and position in Jefferson, Mississippi. This proud man of mixed blood, accused of murdering a white man, maintains his dignity by refusing to defend himself. Considered the noblest of Faulkner's black male characters, Lucas also appears in Go Down, Moses (1942), which details the intertwining lives of the black and the white McCaslins.
Distantly related to Lucas through McCaslin is Chick Mallison, a sixteen-year-old white youth who views the old man with awe and respect. When Lucas sends for lawyer Gavin Stevens, Chick's uncle, Chick goes with him. Initially Stevens believes that Lucas is guilty. Chick, however, does not. He becomes engaged by Lucas' refusal to clear himself; he cannot let this man be lynched.
Chick determines to dig up the victim's body to prove that Lucas is innocent. Miss Eunice Habersham's participation in this scheme makes it possible. Miss Habersham, who grew up with Lucas Beauchamp's wife Molly, seems utterly fearless. One of Faulkner's grand old ladies, she knows who she is: descendant of a...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
On a cold afternoon in November, Chick Mallison, twelve years old, accompanied by two black boys, goes rabbit hunting on Carothers Edmonds's place. When he falls through the ice into a creek, an old black man, Lucas Beauchamp, appears and watches while the boy clambers awkwardly ashore. Then Lucas takes the white boy and his companions to his home. There, Chick dries out in front of the fire and eats Lucas's food. Later, when Chick tries to pay the old man for his hospitality, Lucas spurns his money. Chick throws it down, but Lucas makes one of the other boys pick it up and return it. Chick broods over the incident, ashamed to be indebted to a black man, especially one as arrogant as Lucas. Again trying to repay the old man, he sends Lucas's wife a mail-order dress bought with money he saved; again refusing to acknowledge payment and thus admit his inferiority, Lucas sends Chick a bucket of sorghum sweetening.
Four years later, when Lucas is accused of shooting Vinson Gowrie in the back, Chick still has not forgotten his unpaid debt to the man. Realizing that Vinson's poor white family and friends are sure to lynch Lucas, Chick wants to leave town. Yet, when Sheriff Hope Hampton brings Lucas to the jail in Jefferson, Chick, unable to suppress his sense of obligation, is standing on the street where the old man can see him. Lucas asks Chick to bring his uncle, Gavin Stevens, to the jail.
At the jail, Lucas refuses to tell Stevens what...

Introduced in 2011 to showcase the sport's brightest stars by equipping them with identical Ford Fiesta R2s, prepared by M-Sport, and run on control Pirelli tyres, the category is the first step for drivers intent on one day winning the World Rally Championship powered by Nokia.
Held over six rounds of the 2012 WRC season, drivers will also receive extensive training during the course of the year to ensure they are ready to climb to the sport's highest echelon when the opportunity arises.
This year's intake features 10 drivers representing seven different nations. They are: Fredrik Ahlin (Sweden), Christopher Duplessis (United States), Elfyn Evans (Great Britain), Alastair Fisher (Great Britain), John MacCrone (Great Britain), Brendan Reeves (Australia), Joao Silva (Portugal), Jose Suarez (Spain), Pontus Tidemand (Sweden) and Timo van der Marel (Netherlands).
Of the 10, only Ahlin, Duplessis, Fisher, Reeves, Suarez and van der Marel have previous WRC Academy experience. Of this six, all but Duplessis - who contested the final round in 2011 - were in action when the series began in Portugal 12 months ago.
Fisher, a 23-year-old from Northern Ireland, is one of the favourites to lift this year's title. He led in Portugal last season and notched up his first victory on the penultimate event in France, eventually finishing third in the final standings.
Fisher has vowed to make the most of the lessons learned in 2011 and begin his campaign with a successful showing in Portugal: "I've improved vastly as a rally driver since the beginning of last year thanks to the advice and training I've received. I've worked very hard on my personal preparation over the winter break."
Van der Marel is another driver with high hopes on the Algarve-based season-opener. The Dutch motorsport federation supports van der Marel, who, like his nine WRC Academy rivals is highly rated.
"I had quite a busy time getting read for the 2012 season: I needed to find sponsors, get in shape and I still have a job," said the 22-year-old. "I will only be able to drive the Fiesta for the first time this year on Wednesday. Portugal is not going to be easy but I'm determined to get a good result."
WRC Academy crews will cover 13 of the scheduled 22 stages in Portugal with the first car due to finish the event at 14:40hrs local time on Saturday 31 March.

Hair is an important part of our identity. Because of its significance, hair loss can be very traumatic for both men and women. Millions of women in the United States suffer from androgenic alopecia (or female pattern hair loss). But all is not hopeless for women who wish to confront their hair loss and take action to safely regain control of their appearance and self-esteem.
Hair grows in phases from its follicle (the skin surrounding the hair root) at an average rate of about ½ inch per month. Approximately 90% of the hair on your scalp is growing at any one time and is in a phase that lasts 2-6 years. The other 10% is in a resting phase, which lasts 2-3 months. After the resting phase, the hair strand falls out and a new one begins to grow. As a result, you lose roughly 100 hairs on any given day.
Androgenic alopecia (the most common cause of excessive hair loss in both women and men) occurs when hair falls out, but new hair does not grow in its place. The cause is not well understood, but it is associated with genetic predisposition (from either the maternal or paternal side), aging, and levels of androgens (sex hormones).
The pattern of hair loss in women is different from the typical receding hairline and crown loss seen in men. In women, there is usually thinning of hair over the entire head or slight hair loss at the crown or hairline. It rarely progresses to total or near baldness.
Hair loss can occur for other reasons as well, including:
There is no known way to prevent female pattern hair loss. But call your doctor if you think you may be balding. She may find a treatable medical cause for your hair loss and can work with you to treat the condition, as well as symptoms like itching or skin irritation. There's no reason for you to feel anxious, embarrassed, or unattractive because of hair loss.
The hair loss of female pattern hair loss is permanent. However, it is of cosmetic importance only and does not indicate a medical disorder. So, if you are comfortable with your appearance, no treatment is required. If you want to treat the condition, keep in mind that your insurance will most likely not cover medicines or procedures for cosmetic purposes, but may if your hair loss is due to a disease.

As Chance Bothe, then 21, was driving home from college last year into the southeast Texas city of Ganado, he was focused more on texting a friend than he was on the road.
"I need to stop before I have a wreck and kill myself" was the message he sent shortly before his truck tumbled down a 20-foot ravine, his father said.
Bobby Bothe, 57, got a call at Dow Chemical, where he works, and thus began what turned into a months-long, multimillion-dollar recuperation for his son.
At the hospital, he ran into a friend's daughter, a nurse. "I told her, 'I don't know what to do,' and she said, 'You pray.' " He did.
His son had suffered a compound broken leg, broken ankles, broken ribs, a punctured lung, a broken sternum, a broken neck, a broken nose, crushed eye sockets, a crushed forehead and a fractured skull, Bothe said.
"They told us he wouldn't make it, they said he'd be blind, he'd never walk again."
After more than three weeks in a coma, Chance Bothe regained consciousness but initially recognized neither of his parents, Bothe said.
Bothe knows that many parents of young drivers are not so lucky. That was underscored by three crashes in three days this week in which 15 teenagers were killed.
In Illinois, four Chicago-area teenagers died Tuesday morning when their car plunged into a creek. They were students at Wilmington High School, the school superintendent said.
In Ohio on Sunday, a sport utility vehicle veered off a two-lane road into a pond, killing six of eight teenage occupants. The vehicle was meant to carry five people.
In Texas, an SUV carrying five teenagers collided with a gas tanker Sunday. All five young people were killed, and the tanker driver was seriously injured. The teen driver failed to stop at a stop sign, authorities said.
For survivors, recovery can be long. With such severe injuries, Chance Bothe was hospitalized for seven months. Now, the 22-year-old man has plastic eye sockets, metal rods in his legs and a rebuilt nose. "He's a little bit slower than he was" but is working on a ranch, attending online classes from home and planning to take his message of survival to high schools around the state, Bobby Bothe said.
It's a message the father supports. "I don't want no parent to ever go through this," he said. "You gotta know, my son is everything to me."
Though traffic fatalities have seen a historic drop in recent decades, young drivers remain at highest risk.
Motor-vehicle crashes are the top cause of death for people ages 15 to 20, according to 2007 figures from the National Center for Health Statistics.
In 2010, crashes killed about 2,700 people ages 16 to 19 -- more than seven per day -- and resulted in nearly 282,000 others being treated for injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And drivers ages 16 to 19 are three times more likely than older drivers to be involved in a fatal crash, the agency says.
The weekend crashes in Ohio and Texas fit even higher-risk profiles:
-- Both SUVs were packed with other teenagers, which in itself is a risk factor. The more teenage passengers, the more likely a crash will occur.
-- None of the six teens who died in the Ohio wreck was wearing a seat belt. In 2011, 54% of high school students said they always wore seat belts, the lowest rate of any age group, according to the CDC.

Forecasters say Tropical Storm Chris is accelerating off the coast of Newfoundland in the Atlantic Ocean but poses no threat to land.
The National Hurricane Center said late Tuesday that the storm had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) and was moving east at 13 mph (21 kph)
The high-altitude storm is some 565 miles (909 kilometers) south-southwest of Cape Race. No coastal watches or warnings have been issued.
Forecasters say Chris is not expected to strengthen and will fizzle out by Wednesday night or Thursday.

Ideally no, technically perhaps. I think you should just do the ChIP and find out........I'd be interested in the results. The only problems I for-see is 1) mouse monoclonals aren't the best for ChIPs 2) Fc Receptors from resident immune cells could function as a molecular sink, binding up some of your antibody........but that probably depends on your tissue......and your isotype control should help you see if that were the case.

october 4th is the release date for the cards and the mobos, i was told by a supplier near me (in aus, so we get it a day earlier )
That's my birthday. From the looks of the spec sheet, the only difference between the XT and XL (besides the option for 512mb) is clock speeds.
Last I read it is only clocks. So it seems like a good idea to get a XL and overclock that bad boy. -Dan
Last I read it is only clocks and maybe mem timings. So it seems like a good idea to get a XL and overclock that bad boy. -Dan
i am so happy now i can see some real benhmarks when the cards come out so its not all Nvida vs ATI PR crap.
Looks good. bout only number worth looking at are pixel pipelines and 3dMark05 scores. wonder if those are jus estimated or would love to kno wot rig they are running. Noticing also the use of percentage performance increase andwhen you come to the graph comparing to the 7800GTX the use of a different scale. All very simple little details designed to fox the consumer. But they aint gna slip it past us. We want performance dammit!!! Looks like the midrange card might be quite good value. If it has the performance. Can't see the point of offering 128/256mb models. They should really have gone 256/512mb. Really push the boat out though then the price for performance wouldn't be so great. Though with games such as COD2 coming up really looking to take advantage of the increased memory I don't think it will be too long before we see something like that come along.
Uhm, what difference does the extra memory do in most games? 128 or 256MB is fine for 98% of all games. Besides, all cheap graphics cards have crap memory when you get 256MB over 128MB so they tend to peform slower than their 128MB counterparts anyhow. On the high-end things are different, but then you end up paying out of your nose for the extra memory since that stuff is stupidly expensive.
Blah, you pimp. I think SLI/Crossfire is a sad way of increasing power. Can't make the chip better, just use two to be faster eitherway. Not my thing. And the extra memory could help in games, so it doesn't have to compress its textures. Like in DoomIII, if you want to run that on Ultra you need 512MB Gram. I tried Ultra on my 6600GT (256MB) and got a really nice looking slideshow.
If I had the money you'd find me camped outside neweggs warehouse just waiting for the first shipment of crossfire X1800s and mobos. Also my specs would be though the roof. I would build the most awesome PC ever. Oh to be a millionaire. :woot:

Journal of SociolinguisticsVol 17 (5 Issues in 2013)
Edited by: Allan Bell
Print ISSN: 1360-6441 Online ISSN: 1467-9841
Impact Factor: 1.087
Now publishing 5 issues per volume, Journal of Sociolinguistics has established itself as an international forum for multidisciplinary research on language and society.
Journal of Sociolinguistics promotes sociolinguistics as a thoroughly linguistic and thoroughly social-scientific endeavour. The journal is concerned with language in all its dimensions, macro and micro, as formal features or abstract discourses, as situated talk or written text. Data in published articles represent a wide range of languages, regions and situations - from Alune to Xhosa, from Cameroun to Canada, from bulletin boards to dating ads.

Wazzup with you, Kaz? I also grew up in "Dirty Jersey". Short answer: Anything flown by US pilots stacks-up very well against other Air Forces. The Raptor is the most capable A-A platform in the world right now and will probably continue to be for a decade or more (if the pilots can breathe, of course). The Viper is still one of the Top-5 multi-role jets in the world, arguably in the Top-3...not bad for a jet about to be 40. I'm sure there are a ton of guys on here that will argue it's only second to the F-35 and it's hard to discount their reasons for saying so. In short, both of those jets are outstanding.
Looking to join-up as a mech and a pilot are two totally different things, my man. You can enlist and bend a wrench to work your way through school and then try for your commission or go to college first and try to go straight into the cockpit. Either way: Stay out of trouble with the law (no drugs, no under-age drinking arrests, no DUI's), take your education seriously (your GPA in HS and college WILL count when you try to make this stuff happen)...slackers get shown the door, and stay focused. It is easy (especially in college) to get distracted and wander off into another (easier) career path. If you really want to fly in the military (heavy's or fighters...either one is a tough road) you have to keep sight of that goal and make decisions that help you get there. Such as: choosing a college that typically sends a lot of guys to pilot training, choosing a major that will make you attractive to the recruiters, get involved with activities that pilot recruiters like (sports) and do your research. Why do you want USAF? (they'll ask) Would you take a slot in the Navy? Army? If so, why? If not, why not? Do your research.
Lastly, Kaz, if you work hard and stay focused, you can do this. I know from experience that it's a long, hard road to get to that fighter cockpit, but it is worth it times 10, I promise. It is an experience that very, very few get lucky enough to have. Keep pressing, Bro and good luck.
