WASHINGTON (MCT) — The U.S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of President Obama's health-care law Thursday, ruling the government may impose tax penalties on people who do not have health insurance.
The court's long-awaited ruling rejected a broad legal attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act brought by Republican state officials and the National Federation of Independent Business.
The legal challenge focused on the law's so-called mandate that all must have insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penalty.

Unions Benefit Women Workers
Tuesday, September 4th, 2012Arizona List is an Arizona Super PAC dedicated to recruiting, training and electing pro-choice Democratic women. In existence since 2003 they have been increasingly successful in their support of women in politics. In the recent primary election Arizona List supported 24 women, running for state legislative positions in fifteen legislative districts. They all won.
For a list of these successes as well as non-legislative races look here.
On the day after Labor Day I thought it good to be reminded of the positive difference the union movement makes in the lives of women, courtesy of Arizona List.
• Women who work full-time still earn just 79.7% of what full-time male workers make.[2]
• Unionization increases a woman's pay and benefits, and improves her working conditions.[3]
◦ Unionized women earn 11.2% more than non-union female workers.
◦ Unionized women are 19% more likely to have health insurance – 26% more likely in the lowest paid jobs.
◦ Unionized women of color earn almost 35% more than non-unionized women of color.
◦ Unionized women in low-wage jobs are 23% more likely to be enrolled in a pension plan.
• Attempts by GOP governors to strip state and local public sector unions of the right to bargain over working conditions and benefits has a disproportionate impact on women – who make up 52% of state workers and 61% of local workers.[4]

Race Driver: GRID (Codemasters, 2008)
A while ago we speculated on what Codemasters' 2009 F1 game will be like. That article has been one of the most popular on this site in the past few days and has loads of comments with people sharing their ideas for what should be in the game.
It's clear there's a lot of interest in how Codemasters are going to treat the Formula 1 brand when they release their game next year.
To get an idea of what it might be like, I played their most recent title, Race Driver: GRID.
OK let's get one thing out of the way to begin with – Race Driver: GRID is an arcade-style racer but Codemasters have admitted their F1 game will have both simulator and arcade modes.
That makes sense because although a basic arcade pick-up-and play racer like GRID is fine for casual followers of the sport, more dedicated F1 fans will want a full-on, ultra-realistic driving experience.
I tested out the Xbox 360 version of GRID although, as the 2009 F1 game will be, it is multi-format and is available on PS3 and PC DVD.
GRID is a real mixed bag offering an enormous breath of racing modes: Touring Cars, Formula Three, plus more exotic varieties like drift racing.
In the early stages of the game the sheer number of different racing series available gets a bit bewildering. Especially as, in each race, you're dumped into the car for two or three laps without any practice.
None of this would be a problem if the driving dynamics weren't so iffy. Back at the start of this series of games the two original TOCA titles (based on the British Touring Car Championships) had driving models that were accessible but offered a decent challenge and, above all, allowed you to get stuck into wheel-banging racing without worrying about spinning off on every lap.
I don't think Race Driver: GRID strikes that balance as well – in fact I don't think any of the Race Driver games have. Unless you use the difficulty settings to neuter the challenge of driving entirely the unpredictable handling will have you spearing off on every lap.
This really gets in the way of enjoying what's good about the game. I can't think of many other titles where you can drive a Formula Three car around Spa-Francorchamps.
The graphics are excellent and the track configurations are bang up to date (we can't blame Codemasters for the uglification job Hermann Tilke did on Spa) although I thought a lot of the gradient on the tracks had been scaled down – Eau Rouge didn't look half as steep as it is in real life. Oh, and the fictitious circuits are rubbish.
If you can persevere with the control system the game gets a lot more rewarding as you unlock new racing modes and cars. I liked the fact that your team chief communicates with you by radio during the races and you can even pick a name for him to use – unfortunately 'Keith' wasn't an option for I plumped for 'Mongoose'.
GRID is not going to satisfy an appetite for a vivid, realistic racing experience – and it's no rival to Gran Turismo 5 or Forza Motorsport 2. But for a quick blast of racing fun, with more racing series on offer than you'd find in a copy of Autosport, it has a lot to commend it.

text: In COLONIZATION Mulder's search for the truth suddenly seems near its end when he and Scully meet Cassandra Spender. A multiple abductee, Cassandra believes that aliens came to Earth on a mission that has somehow gone terribly wrong. Her theory is confirmed when Krycek reveals that three abduction sites were beacons for alien colonization and the death and destruction at those sites were caused by a small alien rebel force. Determined to prevent the colonization of Earth, this force is also eliminating all proof that an alien presence was ever on the planet. Unfortunately for Mulder, his quest for the truth has made him part of the proof which must be eliminated.

Performing right to their seed, Maryville seniors Caleb Mather and Peyton Mizera netted the boys team a first place total of 16 points with second place finishes on the opening day of competition at the Class 3-4 State Championship Meet in Jefferson City Friday.
Mather fell one spot short of defending his state title in the shot put, finishing second with a distance of 57-3. It was more than two feet off his season-best of 59-6.5.
Now a two-time state medalist, Mather scratched on three of his first five attempts and threw 56-7.25 on his last one.
He beat the No. 1 seed, Chillicothe's Alec Whiteside, but lost to the person seeded behind him, Helias senior Will Fife. The No. 3 seed took the title away from Mather with a put of 57-7 on his third attempt.
Mizera went into his sixth and final attempt in the long jump in seventh place but moved up to second with a landing of 21-11 that tied his season best. This was 15 inches further than what he had jumped on any of his first five attempts.
No. 1 seed Shane Williams of Mt. Vernon won the long jump title with a distance of 22-5.
Mizera's second place finish was the best of his career at state and earned him a second career medal. He'll have a chance to win another one in the triple jump Saturday.
The only other MHS boy to compete Friday, senior Treyton Burch just missed out on his first career medal in the long jump with a ninth place finish.
Burch's top distance of 20-4 was 6.75 inches short of what he jumped at sectionals.
Burch went on to qualify for the finals in both the 110M and 300M hurdles with sixth place finishes in both preliminary races.
He ran a time of 15.30 in the 110's and 40.27 in the 300's.
The boys sit in first place after four events with 16 points. Mt. Vernon is second with 12.5.
Scoreless after the first day, the MHS girls endured their share of disappointment.
Expected to medal for the first time in three tries at state, senior Baylee Scarbrough scratched on all three prelim attempts in the shot put, keeping her from even getting to the finals.
She was seeded fourth after winning sectionals and districts the past two weekends.
In the day's final event, Maryville's 4 x 400M girls relay of Mikaila Wallace, Jessa Stiens, Abby Hayes and McKenzie Wallace finished 10th in the prelims and did not get to the finals.
Maryville had medaled in this event each of the past two years and returned all of last year's fourth place team.
All of the top nine teams in the 4 x 400M relay prelim race ran better than they did at sectionals. The Hounds' time of 4:07.76 was less than a second slower.
Page 2 of 2 - Earlier in the day, McKenzie Wallace secured a spot in the finals of the 300M hurdles with a fifth place finish in the prelims. Seeded third, Wallace ran a time of 45.98, just a shade under her second place sectional time.
Wallace did not make the finals in the 100M hurdles, running 14th in the prelims with a time of 17.18. She was seeded in the top 10 and had run a sub-16.00 time at sectionals.
Mather (discus), Mizera (triple jump), Burch (110M, 300M hurdles) and Derek Stiens (pole vault) perform again Saturday at either 11 a.m. or 2 p.m.
Mather and Mizera are No. 1 seeds.
McKenzie Wallace (300M hurdles), freshman Jennifer Gullion (long jump), and Jessa Stiens (pole vault) will be in action for the girls.

NavPress offers the small-group resources you need. Download our 2012 Small Group Resource Catalog to find out about our affordable group studies and training for Small Group Ministry and Sunday School Ministry either onsite or online.
Welcome to NavPress Groups. My name is Rick Howerton. I'm the Global Small Group Environmentalist for NavPress Publishing. My vision is to see a biblically functioning small group within walking distance of every person on the planet.
Having been a small group pastor myself and presently a small group leader and coach, I am aware that one of the most difficult decisions a small group leader makes is what to study with his or her group. When this question arises, small group leaders often make contact with you, the small group pastor, asking if you can help them. I used to dream of a publishing company that would make an easy-to-understand list of Bible studies that I could send to my group leaders so that they could find their group's next study. NavPress has done just that. Not only will your small group leaders find a great list of options categorized for easy perusal, they also will become aware of the great studies NavPress offers. You can download our 2012 NavPress Small Groups Catalog now.
We also would like to give you a free monthly enewsletter, Bible Study Helps, with insights and information you can use with your small groups. You can sign up for it online.
We hope you find NavPress has the studies your groups want to address the many needs of a community of believers walking daily though life.
I am thrilled that you and your church will benefit from the ministry of NavPress Publishing.
Journeying with you,
Rick Howerton

Everytime there is a question on who is the most beautiful female character in Jin Yong universe, the majority (99%) of respondent will give Xiao Long Nu as the answer. And everytime there is a list of most beautiful female character in Jin Yong universe, XLN always top the list. Why?
I know that XLN is the most beautiful girl in ROCH, but there are also other very beautiful girls in other JY stories. Why are readers so sure that XLN is more beautiful than Bao XiRuo (YK's mom), Chen Yuen Yuen, Yuen Zhi Yi or Wang Yu Yan? All 4 for of them either have men pining for them endlessly or have great effects on the actions of 1 or male character(s) in their respective stories because of their beauty.

Just in time for Christmas – a glossary of Irish Mammy terms for the holidays
'You're only a Luadramán' Common Irish Mammy phrases explained
There is nothing like some wisdom from your Irish mammy around the holidays.
Cork comedian Colm O'Regan originally began the @Irishmammies Twitter account, where he regularly tweets funny statements from your average Irish mammy such as, "Did one of ye pinch a bit off The Cake?... In. The. Name. Of. God. Can I not turn my back for ONE second in this house?"
He got such a response to his witty take on Irish mothers that he released a new book ,"Isn't It Well For Ye – The Book Of Irish Mammies," in which he explores the phenomenon of the Irish Mammy.
Here is a snapshot of O'Regan's book and a rundown of some common terms used by Irish Mammys.
A good one:
A coincidence or chance meeting. The coincidence chiefly relates to relations. 'And it turns out wasn't she the same Cathy Buggy that was a first cousin of Kieran Buggy who used to teach you the tin whistle. Isn't that a good one?'
A bed that has been treated with radiator, electric blanket and general worrying for a period of seven days prior to being slept in by visitor or returning child. See also Damp.
Any item of clothing, or something capable of being sat or slept on, that has not achieved the sort of dryness one would expect.
You needn't:
It is better for the sake of cohesion or privacy within the family/community that you do not impart what Irish Mammy has just told you. 'You needn't bother telling your sister about that now,' from a Dead Sea Scroll kept in a sealed jar in a desert cave. See also Aired
Abbreviated form of 'Indeed, I', but used to emphasize that the Mammy has very definitely not taken a course of action promulgated by legislators or the more vulgar aspects of society. 'Deedn'I did not get any spray tan.'
Fostuch / Luadramán:
Children, usually male, who are at home watching telly when they should be:
• Out in the fresh air on a grand day like today
• Getting up to let their father sit down there, it's his seat
• Helping their mother around the place. They're well able.

National Catholic Bible Conference Testimonials
The National Catholic Bible Conference just gets better year after year. This is the conference to attend if you're serious about Bible study. The speakers are clearly some of the most astute Bible scholars today. Fantastic, stimulating, and faith building!— Judith R.
We are so blessed to have been able to learn from all of the great scholars and teachers who have come together in this one place!— Theresa S.
What could be better than hearing the nation's top Biblical Scholars outline God's plan of sheer goodness for our lives and His call to each of us? This year's National Catholic Bible Conference, Scripture and God's Plan for Your Life, left me transformed and renewed in my love for God's word.— Sandy W.
It was an awesome conference. The diversity of speakers from varied backgrounds made it an invigorating experience. While the theme, Scripture and God's Plan for Your Life was always kept in focus, the different directions of the presentations, knowledge, transformation and mission, gave the conference a unique appeal. To have the Archbishop celebrate Mass and give a talk was a gift. He was very welcoming. He is an engaging speaker.— Fr. Jim Oliver, Philadelphia, PA
The conference was the perfect opportunity to introduce some friends and family members to Scripture study in a way that set them on fire for the faith.— Gregg P.
The NCBC offered a time and space for our Heavenly Lord to refuel me with the focus and zeal for the extraordinary mission to bring souls to Him. To be amidst a Shepherd, Archbishop Chaput, who has led the birth, growth and protection of the New Evangelization in the United States of America, gave me tremendous hope! The cooperative leadership of Ascension Press, Augustine Institute, and the Denver Biblical School made visible for me the call of Vatican II for the laity to transform the world with their life witness and their convinced proclamation that Jesus Christ Reigns as Lord and Savior! It reminded me that His Word is alive, real and transformative. It reenergized me with stamina and fortitude to hold firm amidst the trials, to step forward in truth and to dance with joy in the Lord's friendship. The NCBC offered me tools to bring home to my parish! It connected me with zealous and well trained lay apostles and clearly affirmed I am not alone in the work of the New Evangelization. Quite the contrary ,I have an incredible network of friends throughout this nation all focused on the same mission! None of this would be possible without the invaluable support of my Beloved Pastor, Msgr. Seamus F. Brennan, who has the courage, fortitude and insight to give pastoral birth, growth and protection to our humble New Evangelization initiative at Immaculate Conception Parish in New Jersey. For all of this, especially the reality of solidarity, I am eternally grateful!— Patti J.
This year's NCBC was better than I expected! No 'talk' was repeated over the two days, making it difficult to choose which track to attend! I had to buy the CD's. They'd be so worth getting, even if I hadn't attended! Understanding how our worldview affects our choices, how angels affect our lives, and how to pray through pain, has already made a helpful difference in my life. Thank you!— Resi S.
This conference was about God's plan for us through scripture and each talk I attended brought me closer to what the Lord truly wants and plans for me. I was inspired. I sometimes question what the Lord's plan is for me, but I feel that I have been given tools to understand better what it is I need to do. I loved every talk I attended and each talk made me think more about what the Lord is saying to me. I hope I can listen and respond to the blessing He has given me and still holds for my future.— Darlene
It was spiritually energizing to gather with like-minded Catholics to worship God in the liturgy and learn more of Him through His Word.— Ellen A.

Two of the many quilts I have hanging in my house hold special meaning for me. "Celestial Son" (pictured here) is based on a quilt called "Celestial Dreams." Both feature a large sun graphic surrounded by fanciful birds, flowers, trees, and an angel. I began this quilt after the turn of THIS century, having fallen in love with the designs.
It moved across the country with me to South Carolina where I lived for two years. I continued to work on the quilt, but struggled to complete it after the death of my youngest son Adam in 2005. It wasn't until I moved back to Lawrence in 2006 and unpacked the quilt that I realized why I was struggling to finish it.
I was working on this quilt section-by-section when Adam was still alive and we saw each other often. Though he was grown up and on his own, he still stopped by for occasional meals and "time with mom." He loved seeing the progress on my quilt projects, and especially loved the "far out 60s" look of this quilt. By finishing the quilt I would lose that link to my son.
I was able to get past my grief and finish the quilt in time for it to be displayed at the Kaw Valley Quilters Guild show in April 2007. It has since been displayed in several other shows and venues where it garners lots of attention and comments. It is completely hand appliqued; it was machine quilted by Lori Kukuk.
The second quilt, "Aloha Keiki Kane" (Goodbye Beloved Son) is a completely original quilt, created because I really wanted to try Hawaiian applique. I began with one block, which grew to five traditional Hawaiian design blocks. The corner applique design, along with the 4 setting blocks, are my own design. The large corner triangles are each appliqued from one piece of fabric onto a background. The entire quilt is hand appliqued. It was machine quilted by Lori Kukuk, Lawrence quilter.
These two quilts together are the last quilts that Adam saw me working on, so they will always hold special meaning for me. They represent so many memories and pieces of my life that I would find it hard to ever part with them.
You probably have special quilts in your life, too — quilts that remind you of special people, or special events or special memories. Quilts are physical and artistic ties to our past. They also carry our hopes into the future as we give them to children getting married or going off to college, to grandbabies, and to friends.
Join local quilters at the library on Saturday as we celebrate National Quilting Day and share "150 Years of Kansas Quilts and Quilters" from 10am -4pm in Marvin Auditorium. I'll see you there!

Mountaintops leveled. Tar sands scraped and boiled. Water taps aflame. These are just a few of the ways that mankind's quest for fossil fuels manifests itself, beyond the obvious utility of being able to power a home or business or drive a car.
Industrialized civilization relies on coal, oil and natural gas—the stored sunlight collectively known as fossil fuels—for more than 80 percent of the energy that enables everything from driving to reading on a computer screen. For all its many benefits, that energy can also have hidden costs—invisible CO2 forming a thickening blanket in the atmosphere and causing climate change, asthma in inner cities, to name a few—along with the more visible impacts.
Photographer J. Henry Fair has documented the landscapes left behind by the industrial processes that feed the world's fossil-fuel addiction—as well as many of the necessities and luxuries of modern life that energy makes possible, from plastics to paper towels. His work is currently on display at The Cooper Union in New York City, presented by the Cooper Union Institute for Sustainable Design and the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture.
Of course, alternative energy sources—the wind, sun, hot rocks and nuclear—are hardly impact-free. Giant wind turbines clutter the once-pristine sight lines of ridgetops; vast solar farms soak up rays in the desert, blotting out the landscape and impacting habitat; and deep uranium mines dot northern Canada with environmental effects matching any other resource-extraction enterprise, like tar sands. Which is why being more energy efficient—recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to light a 100-watt lightbulb for nearly a day—is so crucial.

Picked this up today hoping to get the missus onto the bike and onto the trails
fingers crossed !!!! :S
Stock Standard + 4 years worth of grease and dirt at no extra cost
Grease was so thick I had to spend 3 hours cleaning the drivetrain.
Full strip. Piping hot water + toothbrush and a 2x petrol baths and now the drive train is brand spankin
plenty of room for improvement @12.23kg (reflectors and bell included)
Small Block 8's to replace the slicks
Brakes need a bleed ASAP !!!!!!! (might just hunt for new ones instead)
Also on the cards is a shorter stem so my girl doesnt feel too stretched out on the large frame, along with a suspension seatpost of sorts to soften the ride

International Programs
Cleaning Up Electronic Waste (E-Waste)
New Reports on E-Waste in Ethiopia and China
In April 2013, StEP released two key reports for Ethiopia and China that provide key information on how e-waste is managed in these countries.
EPA provided financial support for the development of both reports.
Building upon the Ethiopia report and other StEP work supported by EPA, the GEF awarded $1 million to the Ethiopian government, through UNIDO, to scale up those efforts and help them develop a fully functional e-waste management system for the country. This is the first e-waste project in which the GEF is investing.
The China report, a collaboration between StEP and Tshingua University in Beijing, is the first comprehensive overview of the e-waste problem in China.
From computers and cell phones, to portable communication and music devices -- the United States of America is a global leader in designing and developing new and improved electronic technologies. With this vibrant innovation, however, comes the increasing challenge of protecting human health and the environment from the potentially harmful effects of poorly managed manufacturing, use, recovery, recycling and disposal of these products.
Currently, most discarded consumer elctronics end up in our landfills. While accurate data on the amount of e-waste being exported from the U.S. are not available, the United States government is concerned that these exports are being mismanaged abroad, causing serious public health and environmental hazards, and representing a lost opportunity to recover valuable resources effectively. U.S. laws and regulations are limited in their ability to prevent harmful exports of used electronics to developing countries.
While EPA continues to build upon its domestic efforts of improving management of discarded used electronics to minimize the growing stream of e-waste and to increase the recycling and reuse of these materials, EPA's international efforts focus on addressing the problems caused when used electronics are exported to developing countries that lack the capacity to manage them safely, causing human health and environmental impacts amongst workers and communities. EPA efforts support the United States government's National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship, which details the federal government's plan to enhance the management of electronics throughout the product lifecycle
EPA collaborates with the United Nations University - Solving the E-waste Problem Initiative (StEP) to jointly address the e-waste problem in developing countries. EPA and StEP signed a cooperative agreement on this topic in November 2010. EPA and StEP are working collaboratively on tracking global flows of e-waste, strengthening Ethiopia's efforts to manage e-waste and engaging with China on e-waste management practices. EPA is a founding member of StEP and serves on the StEP Steering Committee.
What is E-Waste?
"E-waste", "electronic waste", "e-scrap" and "end-of-life electronics" are terms often used to describe used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler. Though "e-waste" is the commonly used term, EPA considers e-waste to be a subset of used electronics and recognizes the inherent value with these materials that can be reused, refurbished or recycled to minimize the actual waste that might end up in a landfill or improperly disposed in an unprotected dump site either in the US or abroad.
An undetermined amount of used electronics is shipped from the United States and other developed countries to developing countries that lack the capacity to reject imports or to handle these materials appropriately. Without proper standards and enforcement, improper practices may result in public health and environmental concerns, even in countries where processing facilities exist
We have serious concerns about unsafe handling of used electronics and e-waste, in developing countries, that results in harm to human health and the environment. For example, there are problems with open-air burning and acid baths being used to recover valuable materials from electronic components, which expose workers to harmful substances. There are also problems with toxic materials leaching into the environment. These practices can expose workers to high levels of contaminants such as lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic, which can lead to irreversible health effects, including cancers, miscarriages, neurological damage and diminished IQs.
EPA estimates that, in 2009, US consumers and businesses discarded televisions, computers, cell phones and hard copy peripherals (including printers, scanners, faxes) totaling 2.37 million tons. Approximately 25 percent of these electronics were collected for recycling, with the remainder disposed of primarily in landfills, where the precious metals cannot be recovered.
Understanding the Problem
Currently, there is a lack of basic data information on US exports shipments of electronics from the U.S. to other countries. Information about where the waste is going, to whom does it go, and in what quantities will move us closer to understanding the extent of the problem, along with ensuring that solutions are targeted appropriately.
This year, multiple studies are due out that will provide some information on exports of e-waste from the U.S. and North America. Through EPA's cooperation with StEP, a workshop was held in June 2011 in Washington, DC that brought together key NGO, industry and academia to begin the conversation about how to get better information on exports. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the National Center for Electronics Recycling hosted the workshop entitled "Characterizing the Transboundary Flows of Used Electronics" that kicked off StEP and EPA's efforts to improve data on e-waste flows. A final report on information gatehred through the study is forthcoming.
This effort complements another effort in which EPA is involved, a scoping study through the North American Commission on Environmental Cooperation (CEC) that is aimed at identifying flows of electronics from North America. This study involves assessing and mapping flows of electronics, including those exported from the U.S. for recycling, reuse, and refurbishment. A final report is expected in 2013.
National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship
In the Presidential Proclamation for America Recycles Day, November 2010, President Obama established an Interagency Task Force on Electronics Stewardship. The President charged the Task Force with developing a national strategy for electronics stewardship, with CEQ, EPA, and GSA as the leads.
In July 2011, the Task Force released the National Strategy for Electronics Stewardship (PDF) (34 pp, 559K, about PDF) report, which details the federal government's plan to enhance the management of electronics by: 1) incentivizing greener design of electronics; 2) leading by example; 3) increasing domestic recycling; and 4) reducing harmful exports of e-waste and building capacity in developing countries.
The strategy provides four overarching goals, action items under each goal, and the projects that will implement each action item.The international goal is aimed at "reducing the harm from US exports of e-waste and improve safe handling of used electronics in developing countries."
These recommendations are described in more detail in the report.
New Report on Global Movement of Used Electronics
There is much concern and interest about the global movement of used electronics. However, too little data exist because of challenges in gathering information.
Better data are needed to create a more comprehensive picture of the overall trade flows. Accurate information about the amounts, types of materals and destinations of used electornics exported will provide valuable information for the Federal government, private industry and other staekholders.
Collaboration -- between academic and research institutions, industry and non-profit organizations, government agencies, and international organizations -- can help address this challenge.
In June 2011, UN University-StEP and MIT hosted a workshop at EPA, bringing stakeholders together to assess existing information and chart a path forward. This is a first step toward a comprehensive understanding of global movement of used electronics.
The new summary report from the workshop, Characterizing Transboundary Flows of Used Electronics, lays out options for future data-gathering efforts. View the Report

Ron Burgundy is slowly taking over the sports world
Will Ferrell is pulling out all the stops to promote Anchorman 2. First, the never-ending train of SportsCenter guest hosts will continue next Thursday, December 5th, when Ron Burgundy will slide into the anchor chair according to a report from The Big Lead.
While the episodes of SportsCenter guest hosted by Ken Jeong and Jimmie Johnson in recent months have earned our critical scorn, the episodes delivered big ratings for ESPN. Jeong's episode saw viewership jump by 25%, while Johnson's episode saw a viewership rise of 22%.
Ferrell is a bigger star than either Jeong or Johnson, and with Anchorman 2 coming out two weeks after his guest hosting appearance, a significant spike in ratings is expected. Earlier that day, Ferrell will be sitting in with The Dan Patrick Show fully in character as Burgundy on the popular nationally syndicated radio show.
But wait, there's more. Ron Burgundy will also make an appearance this Sunday for TSN during the network's curling coverage and the Roar for the Rings.
That's right, Ron Burgundy doing curling. That has the potential to be the best... or worst thing we've seen this year. It'll certainly be unique.
At this point, we may see more of Ron Burgundy over the next month than we saw of Tim Tebow during the heights of TebowMania

i hate going to weddings
If that dude played a nice acoustic version while she was walking in I'd say MAYBE it was ok but he stole the spotlight from his wife doing what every girl dreams of. Walking down the aisle. The only more inappropriate time to play a distorted Ibanez guitar is probably at Jesus' Crucifixion.
They'll be fighting over custody of those guitars within ten years.
enter at your own risk
wish I could be there when it all goes to hell in 3yrs & they facepalm this douchy video. neg reps for the bad camera angle focused on the dude...the bride was hawt & I wanna do her in that dress & make those white panties all crusty
I hate being bipolar, its awesome.
It's not suprising that this couple has about 10 friends collectively. They have more people in the wedding party than attendees. Enough with the breaking formality in order to be unique schtick at weddings
It appears to be a 37 camera shoot, yet I cannot tell if she has a decent rack.
Nice looking chick. She may not be that good on the guitar yet, but everyone's gotta start somewhere
Captain America's been torn apart, now he's a court jester with a broken heart/he said "Turn me around and take me back to the start/I must be losing my mind, are you blind? I've seen it all a million times"

I voted for Ted. We could use 59 more just like him in the Senate.
How about 99 more...
I´ll bet rubio will consider this conservative a threat.
And Karl wanted to saddle us with Dewhurst.
I voted for Rubio and am one of his biggest fans, but...he better watch out because I think Ted Cruz is rapidly stealing Rubio´s Thunder. I love everything about Cruz! We need more like him. And, can you even imagine a Cruz/Rubio ticket in 2016? The Democrats would turn into puddles if that happened. How would they begin to hold on to their Hispanic votes? Also, I would love to see Cruz take over for Mitch McConnell. Mitch is so Wishy Washy and Cruz, on the other hand, would play hardball.
We need Senator Ted Cruz to work his magic in our Senate, then move into the Chief Justice position in our Supreme Court, when Roberts retires in 6-12 years.
channeling Joe McCarthy. I love it. He certainly does cause a painful twist in liberal panties...
#6 is right. Cruz shouldn´t be wasted on the presidency. The Supreme Court is where he belongs.
He´s exactly what the repub party needs...hope he doesn´t pick up the rino disease....
that idiot Rove and his establishment Pac would have campaigned against Cruz.
Ted Cruz not only gives the left heartburn, he is a slap in the face to Karl Rove who ran Dewhurst per the Bush family. One of the keys to the Cruz win was the wholehearted endorsement he got from Sarah Palin. I listened to her fine speech in support of Cruz and believe it helped put him over the top.
This is why I voted for him over Dewhurst. With Dewhurst, we would only have gotten the voting record, and one not quite as good as Cruz.
Cruz is what Rubio claims to be. Rubio is a lightweight whose ignorance is being exposed on an almost daily basis now.
Our Tea Party was onboard early precisely for the sense of his combativeness versus Mr. Dewhurst´s perceived go along to get along style. When asked why we backed him, that was the reason we gave first. We were sending help to DeMint, Lee, Paul, etc.This week I made a courtesy call to his office in DC and was advised by his people there that the keys to getting in the run-off and the win that resulted were four counties. They were Collins, Tarrant, our County, Montgomery and one more. Sarah was in for the run-off but Dewhurst was toast by then.In our first meeting with Ted in Austin in 2011 the day we were meeting the Texas Legislature Tea Party Caucus, he told us that his path to victory was through a runoff. He was right. I expect Mr. Rove and his minions will attempt to change that procedure.Semper Fi
Ted is doing exactly what he was sent to the Senate to do.
We are Texas-proud of Ted.THIS is what a real American looks like and sounds like.Why is it that he gets all this attention with only a month in office? Because:he´s a patriothe´s honorablehe´s got gutshe knows right from wronghe´s not your average avaricious politicianhe´s what the Founders had in mind when they created the US Senatehe´s a STATESMAN
Sen. Cruz not only has a brain...he has a Chin that he often follows (unlike Mitch) Andrew, nothing wrong with being a Conservative cheerleader. We kick just as high as the loons on the left. Lesss see, 2 first class senators in one cycle..How long to complete the entire process to replace them all.
Thanks to all you Texicans out there, I wasn´t home to vote for Ted, I´m in exile in Michigan, but ya´ll done good.

I rescind outdated vows of poverty, celibacy, struggle, silence, and unworthiness.
I release resistance.
I let go of old programs that keep me stuck in old patterns.
I let go of everything I do not want or need for my highest good.
Receiving/Accepting Affirmations
The purpose of Receiving and/or Accepting Affirmations is to open to allow something to be. They allow us to receive goodness from the Universe. They neutralize the misqualification of energy; that is, they can reverse illness or other density. In addition, they help us shift the attention from disempowering actions such as, "getting" or "taking" to more freeing concepts such as, "receiving" and "allowing" and "accepting."
I open to the gifts of the Universe.
I allow abundance to flow through me.
I accept support when I need it.
Dear God, please let me know what to do in a way that I can understand.
I accept peace and joy in all aspects of my life.
Being/Intending Affirmations
The purpose of Being and/or Intending Affirmations is to ground your purpose, especially your higher purpose. These affirmations enhance conscious awareness of your intention about something or about your mission in life. In addition, these affirmations can deepen your understanding of your reason for being and/or acting generally or in a specific situation. They can be used to enhance any and all actions that follow.
I know that this is for the highest good of all concerned.
I deepen my awareness of the consciousness from which actions spring.
I live my mission.
My intention is to live free from struggle, fear, and hopelessness.
I remember.
Acting/Claiming Affirmations
The purpose of Acting and/or Claiming Affirmations is to bring something into manifestation or to direct the energy of your intention to appropriate manifestation. These affirmations bring into the physical experience those ideas that you hold in your mind and/or heart. In addition, these affirmations help you to claim your power and establish boundaries in relationships.
I act with high intention and purposeful awareness.
I step into the world to live my mission in every word and action.
I demand my good right now.
I make every act an act of love (or freedom or mastery or hope, etc.).
I am powerful. I am worthy. I am loveable. I am free.
Integrating/Embodying Affirmations
The purpose of Integrating and/or Embodying Affirmations is to allow the energy and meaning of the affirmations to merge with your consciousness. Affirmations and ideas that do not resonate, drop away. Integrating/Embodying Affirmations support us in knowing more deeply — integrating — what we have learned rather than introducing new information.
I integrate trust into every aspect of my life.
I breathe love into my job, my body, my relationships.
Yes to Life!
Today is an opportunity for peace.
I breathe in abundance, letting my whole body feel its energy.
Affirmations as Lifestyle
As you work more and more with intentional affirmations — written, spoken, read, chanted, meditated upon — you will make them part of your lifestyle. Affirmations are already working for (or against!) you. It is your job to select the ones you want to live by. Remember, you are already using affirmations every time you think or speak! If your current affirmations are disempowering, you can intentionally change them to ones that you choose to live by.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Tickets for the 2013 Solid Sound Festival went on sale Friday with an "early worm special." Tickets for the three-day festival organized by Wilco are $99 in limited quantity now and when they sell out, another batch of limit quantity tickets will be $124 and eventually $149. They are available here.
The festival featuring musicians, artists and comedians begins on Friday, June 21, and will conclude on Sunday, June 23, at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. A full lineup has not yet been announced. Campsites at Noel Field, dubbed "Solid Ground," will also return with sites for $90 per tent — with a maximum of four people per tent — and $120 for an RV. The band canceled last year's festival which draws thousands to the downtown in favor of touring to promote their new album. However, they did return to MoCA for a benefit concert.
Check out some of our photos from the 2011 event here.
Ponchos were the de rigeur fashion at Solid Sound Festival this weekend.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The second annual Solid Sound Festival started soggy but ended with sunshine as more than 6,000 music lovers descended on sleepy North Adams for three days of Wilco-selected fun. There's no doubt the influx (nearly half the city's population) was a boon to business. There were lines to get into restaurants and the number of feet on the street was remarkable. They filled up hotels and motels throughout the area and some 230 campsites at "Solid Ground" at Noel Field.
The festival was a family affair for many.
The Hub did a record 514 covers (last we knew) by the wee hours of Sunday morning; more than 300 old '60s and '70s vinyl albums flew out of Empire Antiques. Inside the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, there were lines at the locally-operated food booths. The Rotary had sold more than half their 3,000 hot dogs by mid-Saturday afternoon. Despite the 150 kegs rolled into the campus, Public Safety Director E. John Morocco said there had been no incidents.
Fans of alt-rock Wilco came from near and far and ranged from the sharply dressed to those in casual shorts and T-shirts, from the stroller to the gray-haired. Children were ubiquitous - being pushed and carried, dancing and playing. Amy Joyce of Albany, N.Y., was there on Saturday afternoon with her husband and three children ages 2,4 and 6. Both Wilco fans, the couple had driven in for two days. The constant rain hadn't deterred them; a lot of the activities for the kids were inside Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, she said
Classic vinyl was in demand.
We're more than happy to be here to see them," said Joyce, adding they'd come last year was well. "We made a weekend out of it."
The Joyces had opted for a motel over a campsite. "We're not that brave!" laughed Joyce. Festivalgoers huddled under umbrellas and the numerous "skyways" dating from the complex's days as a mill, and sported the fashion of the day: ponchos in bright primary colors and mud boots (for the hardier, sandals and no protection). As the music moved through the several outdoor venues, the crowd flowed forward to surround each stage, stomping through puddles. "This is awesome, everything is awesome," said Ken Williams, who'd driven from Somerville to spend a soggy weekend at Solid Ground. Williams, "a big Wilco fan," had missed last year's festival and had to hear about it secondhand from a friend. "So I had to come this year." He had nothing but praise for the festival, the area and the people. "I've never been to North Adams before. It would have been better if the weather was nicer ... but it's a beautiful place."
The band thanked their fans for being so devoted.
Friend Liz Sussky of Amherst, who'd come to spend the day, chimed in it "was a beautiful drive up here." Both said they would definitely return. On Saturday night, a brief thunderboomer had MoCA volunteers herding the crowd into the protection of the galleries, an emergency procedure worked out in case bad weather struck. But the thunder was the last gasp — the skies (almost) cleared and fans moved back into muddy Joe's Field to hear Wilco's second performance of the festival.
Wilco lead singer Jeff Tweedy nodded to their dedication, telling the sea of bobbing heads: "thank you for being so devoted and standing in the rain. ... Thank you, so much." Afterwards — seven encores afterwards — the crowd spilled out onto Main Street as the city stayed up late to party. Still, there were a few people wondering, like the elderly lady who spotted my photo press pass on Saturday night, "What's a Wilco?" After a second successful festival, no one should be left questioning the windfall that is Wilco.
Wilco met with the media in the Katharina Grosse exhibit inside the museum before the second Solid Sound Festival kicked off.
Wilco members Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche said the Berkshires have become the other half of the band's base with their management opening shop in the next county over in Northampton.
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Berkshires is considered a second home to the band Wilco. "A tentacle of our global operations has planted itself firmly in the Berkshires. Our management, our longtime manager, made a home here in Northampton so a lot of things have grown around that operation," band leader Jeff Tweedy said during a meeting with the press Friday prior to the kick off of the Solid Sound Festival. "Chicago is where we work and record the records and rehearse and this area is where all of the other types of decisions are made." The band returned to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Arts on Friday for the three-day long festival. While the festival draws thousands of people, it is still minor in comparisons to other major festivals in the country — exactly the way Wilco wants it. "I love the scale. I don't really have any aspirations to outgrow the [museum]. Last year, we could have obviously accommodated more people," bassist John Stirratt said. "This is the antidote of the big rock concert. All I aspire to is to keep going and get more of our friends here to play."
The band's even selected Mass MoCA and the festival for the release of its first single under its new self-label. The 7-inch vinyl is on sale for $8. Museum Executive Director Joseph Thompson said the museum is very proud to continue being the host. "We are really, really proud to be the host of Wilco. The band is very near the core of our DNA at Mass MoCA," Thompson said. "We just couldn't imagine a better group of people."
Instead of playing the larger festivals, the band is curating its own festival for the second year in a row. When asked to explain why, pianist Mikael Jorgensen responded, "Why not?" Guitarist Nels Cline said that by curating their own festival, they get a chance to direct the whole weekend. "I think a lot of our bands wouldn't necessarily be invited to the big festivals so it's kind of nice to be able to invite ourselves to our own festival," Tweedy said. "It's all stuff that we have some connection to or if we haven't made contact with, it's bands we'd like to make contact with." Stirratt said the band would love to invite every band they have known but they are not getting ahead of themselves. Tweedy said the band will not even begin to think about next year's festival until this year's is complete (and the "pain of planning" it has passed). However, the festival has already shown growth with an additional Friday night set by the band and the Solid Ground tent set up at Noel Field. The festival is also being held earlier in the year. "It rained a lot more this year than last year. It did rain last year but not as much," Glenn Kotche, drummer, said. Thompson said the show will go on rain or shine. If the weather gets very bad the audience will be ushered inside temporarily but the show will continue on right after.

Well you know I did a double take on this one the headline in the Chicago Tribune not to -- not too cold economy.
The jobless rate has just moved all the government reported the economy -- actually contracted.
Hello trust the media and from the White House the -- it told a very different story.
Here's my take on the settling for mediocrity.
That is exactly what we're told.
The recovery is on track slower than we would like yes but still steady.
The president has been putting out this line and most of the media has -- collect food that line.
If the stock market hit new highs it must be a sign that everything's okay riots.
Wrong stocks are up because Ben Bernanke has promised to keep printing dollars when the jobless rate went up it was a sure sign that Ben would pretty minimal so stocks went up some mall.
Let's be clear things I'm not okay.
-- 8% unemployment and zero growth is not okay -- death our debt will hit seventeen trillion this format.
Definitely not okay.
This is -- -- recovery from any recession in three generations.
And to sit back and accept it as if we can't do any bad.
It's just plain wrong.
The president's cheering gallery in the media wants is too simple to settle for and accept the new normal no jobs no growth big debt just like Europe.
Surely we're not gonna go along with this -- -- America's never settled for the mediocre I don't think we should stop now.

I am so excited to share this post with you!! Have you heard of the blog called Etcetorize?
If not let me tell you a little about it. It is a beautifully written blog. Tamara is the oh so talented, lovely lady behind it all. She is so creative, and has a great eye for color. Her sewing skills are awe-inspiring. A while ago she was having a giveaway and yes, I entered it. The giveaway was for a shirt and bracelet both made by Tamara. I am so glad I entered. Because I won!!! I was so excited.
I couldn't get a good shot of the bracelet so this photo is from etcetorize. |
I LOVE this bib shirt. Isn't she gorgeous! I know, she actually knows how to act in front of a camera.
Both of these dresses would be perfect for a day out in the sun.
And this one so simple and perfect for everyday!
This shirt is beautiful. I love the colors she chooses.
Get this, she even crafts!
She took her ironing board that looked like this. (actually, quite a bit like mine!)
And recovered it to match her curtains. It looks beautiful and she has a great tutorial. This one is on my to do list.
She also took an outdated bracelet and with a little mod podge, a paper napkin, and a little lace she made a cute shabby chic bracelet.
So if you haven't already, you should check her and her blog out. I am sure you will find something that you love!
Just so you know, Tamara didn't know who I was when I entered the giveaway. We have e-mailed a few times after I received the shirt. I in no way, was given anything to write a positive review. The idea to write a review was mine because I loved the shirt so much. I was given permission to use the images I have posted here.
Thanks for hangin' out.

Question by Glenn 4 348 · Jan 08 '12 at 12:48 AM · kefir
I've been making my own kefir for several weeks now. Tasty stuff, but I'm wondering...do all those probiotic bacteria really survive the environment of the stomach to then populate the large and small intestines? I've read that probiotic supplements come in capsules that are designed to delay release until after the journey through the stomach, and if that's necessary for them to work, how can "unprotected" real food probiotics make it that far?

I've done a ton of reading. I don't disagree with anything said above but I will add a little:
Now my anecdotal experience. As Anonymous Chump said, when I started drinking water kefir I was very careful and drank only a tablespoon full for the first few days. Even so, I definitely felt changes going on in my gut. I now drink a small amount of first-brew and 1 or 2 bottles of carbonated water kefir every day.
One year ago, I could not eat ice cream or yogurt; even trace amounts of yogurt upset my stomach in a fairly violent way. This Christmas, I ate a pint of ice cream on several different days with no symptoms; I now eat 1/2 a cup of home-made lively yogurt every day with no symptoms.
I can only conclude that some of those bugs are making it through my stomach! Actually, I can't speak for dairy kefir but water kefir is a watery liquid and if you drink it on an empty stomach it doesn't spend much time there and acid/bile levels should be at their lowest.
Answer by January 3541 · Jan 08 '12 at 01:36 AM
This is what I've learned from word-of-mouth: Plenty of them die, but some of them make it. They're hearty little bugs, and they also reproduce very fast (as all bacteria do). So even if only a few make it, they can quickly populate your gut from the luckiest/toughest survivors.
Commercial strains of probiotics aren't as tough; they're living in processed foods and/or have been heavily processed themselves, and so are weak by the time you bring them home and eat them. That's why probiotic supplements need help in the form of encapsulation. I've also read that commercial yogurts and kefirs often cannot deliver on the promised probiotics because the bugs just cannot survive.
I don't have actual research links. But I know that kefir is doing something in there -- when I drink too much at once, I sure know it. Some pretty epic bacterial battles occur when I send in a ton of troops!
Edit to provide an interesting quote from Wikipedia:
"Both kefir and yogurt improve lactose digestion simply because some of the bacterial cells give up their lives in the intestinal tract, release their enzymes and digest the lactose. It's a one-shot deal. However, kefir has additional microorganisms that may be able to colonize the intestines and benefit health further by protecting the intestine against disease-causing bacteria." -ScienceDaily. 2003-05-30.
...so they are making it to your intestinal tract, but most of them die there; however, kefir has so many types of bacteria that some types just might take up residence and keep helping you out.
Answer by Happy Now 27423 · Jan 15 '12 at 12:35 AM
Fun fact: Babies are born with sterile guts, and slowly build up their gut flora via their digestive tracts by interacting with their world, be it going through the birth canal, nursing, licking and sticking random objects in their mouths, etc.
So, through the mouth is the normal route by which we alter and supplement the critters in our gut. Like others have said, I think it is a numbers game, and if you have that kefir on a regular basis, a certain amount will make it through the stomach acid gauntlet and start to colonize.
Answer by justin 6 627 · Jan 14 '12 at 11:19 PM
this is my own theory
ever added an acidic liquid to milk? the milk curdles. in fact, my mom once told me when milk gets to the stomach, it turns into pieces of semi-solid jellies, as she had seen me vomiting up the stuff as that (i vomited alot as a kid). and as i recall, i once added lemon juice to milk and it become a little jell-like. so here's my theory: fermented milk goes into stomach, meets stomach acid, curdles and forms semi-solid pockets of jellies which contain the probiotics, and due to the fact that the stomach only churns the pockets never get damages and the probiotics never get released until somewhere in the intestine with other digestive juices added to the mix. what do u guys think of this theory?
Answer by Anonymous Chump 6425 · Jan 08 '12 at 01:44 AM
"These bacteria are not highly acid-and bile-resistant, with only 15% surviving the passage through the stomach and about 1% reaching the large intestine, 70 where they fail to colonize"
"The term probiotic refers to live microorganisms that reside in the gastrointestinal tract and have beneficial effects on the host (De Simone et al. 1991; Lee and Salminen 1995). More than four hundred species of bacteria are estimated to survive in the gastrointestinal tract and these endogenous bacteria comprise the intestinal microflora. Even more species may be present but not culturable by the traditional plate count methods. After passage through the stomach and the small intestine, some probiotics survive and become established transiently in the large bowel. In order to survive in and colonize the gastrointestinal tract, probiotic bacteria need to express high tolerance to acid and bile and to have the ability to adhere to intestinal surfaces (Lee and Salminen 1995; Kirjavainen et al. 1998; Fujiwara et al. 2001)."

Dr. Mercola's site states that most of the probiotics make it through and do not need encapsulation if they come from a good food source or a good pharma source.

Has anyone ever heard of h. Pylori? It's the bacteria that causes most stomach ulcers. It's a relatively recent discovery that the stomach is not actually a sterile environment. There are bacteria that can live and even thrive in the stomach. I wouldn't be surprised if more bacteria than we thought are able to pass through alive.
Answer by Star 1 42 · Jan 11 at 03:23 AM
I heard its a myth probiotics not making it through gut. new studies show that probiotic count is passed down from the mother to the child. Mother with low probiotic count = baby with low probiotic count and mother with high probiotic count= baby with high probiotic count. Not sure if its cell memory. But there is a link with kefir and dna and changing dna and also NKC ( natural killer cells ). Also certain species have difficult time through the gut but not all of them. google in vitro selection of probiotics.
probiotics are "killed" by chlorine chemicals processed foods etc..
Probiotics are food for good bacteria.
"For example, one expert claims that stomach acid kills 99.9 percent of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, which are probiotics in yogurt. Another says these probiotics are among the few that do survive the stomach. Then a UCSF study finds probiotics that don't even need to be alive to have an effect, since they have an immunostimulative role (like dead viruses used for a vaccine)."
unique healing on youtube has good sound info she doesnt really push product and has healed herself of incurable diseases with probiotics etc. she just says massive probiotics for 3 years and bentonite clay to mitigate until healed.. has an herbal product thats cheaper than buying probiotic. I tried it its good, I just cant do all the herbs and well kefirs cheap baby. I dont agree with her that there are not enough probiotics in kefir and it would take 10 years to heal the gut on kefir alone .. but until I get labs done on my kefir I will take probiotics ( good cheap source custom probiotics dot com )
what I am interested in is getting a lab culture done on my kefir, not the grains. When its done I will post it.
I am adding a study here as it supports cfu count in kefir and well one never knows if this study will " disappear" J Food Sci. 2012 Aug;77(8):M425-33. doi: 10.1111/j.1750-3841.2012.02805.x. Investigation on culturable microflora in Tibetan kefir grains from different areas of China. Gao J, Gu F, Abdella NH, Ruan H, He G. Source
College of Biosystems Engineering and Food Science, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. Abstract
Four samples of Tibetan kefir grains (TK-ZJUJ 01-04) from Tibet and surrounding areas were investigated via phenotypic and genotypic methods to compare and analyze the diversity of culturable microflora among different origins. As a result, 4 genera of microorganisms from TK-ZJUJ01: Bacillus subtilis (2.9 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Lactococcus lactis (8.2 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Kluyveromyces marxianus (3.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (9.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL); 4 genera from TK-ZJUJ02: Lactobacillus kefiri (1.0 × 10(8) cfu/mL), Pichia kudriavzevii (5.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL), K. marxianus (1.9 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Kazachstania unispora (6.2 × 10(7) cfu/mL); 6 genera from TK-ZJUJ03: Leuconostoc lactis (4.6 × 10(7) cfu/mL), L. lactis (3.0 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Lactobacillus plantarum (3.0 × 10(7) cfu/mL), K. unispora (3.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL), K. marxianus (2.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL), (1.7 × 10(7) cfu/mL); and 4 genera from TK-ZJUJ04: L. plantarum (1.8 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Acetobacter fabarum (5.0 × 10(6) cfu/mL), K. unispora (6.2 × 10(7) cfu/mL), Pichia guilliermondii (6.2 × 10(7) cfu/mL) were identified. Yeasts like P. kudriavzevii and P. guilliermondii isolated in this study were the first time reported in Tibetan kefir grains. For TK-ZJUJ 01-03, lactic acid bacteria were the major microorganisms, which accounted for more than 50% of all the microbial population, while for TK-ZJUJ04, the largest microbial group was yeasts which accounted for more than 50%. In a word, study of diversity and composition of microflora provided us theoretical foundation for further investigation and application of Tibetan kefir grains. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This is the basic research in order to develop and industrialize a new kind of yogurt starter which is naturally formed microbiota with both lactic acid yeast...
google this; " COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KEFIR LACTICMICROFLORA " , there is a cfu graph provided for lab culture done on romanian kefir grains

Close enough Canker. The passage reads:
"Truly, then, Throdag House and The Chamber of Night were not places for normal men but veritable Devil's Pits, and the dripstone chamber itself could only fairly be compared with the grottoes of Endor, Kith's Labyrinth, or the dungeons of Baron Ferenczy."

In Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi there is a story about a mirror.....
At the end of the story the main character sees a face or visage staring back at him from within the mirror.
What and who does the image/visage remind him of?

If you have read the story you probably wont find the question as wierd as it looks
