hi, i just started the cleanse for my first time today and i am looking for buddies as well!Originally Posted by LibbyLou
Kiropa: I've only been weighing in on the weekends. I went for 5 days and only lost 2lbs. I made up for it the following week but I'm glad I didn't check daily or I would've been disappointed. Weighing in on Saturdays is like a present. The best part is "feeling" the change in my body and the way my clothes fit during my non weigh in days. On occasion I'd gain back a lb or two and I have no idea why. It's just part of the journey.
Healthy things grow, Growing things change, Real growth is measureable.
I'm currently only on day 2. This morning was rough after I did the salt water flush at 5 am I was still nervous to leave for work at 8am. I have a night class tonight and I'm starting to feel tired. I can't stop thinking about food and all the things I would love to eat. I'm also a little moody...
I need some motivation.. I wish I could be positive doing this and not complain so much.
Also does anyone know if it's okay to drink green tea?
now for another help me question. next tuesday, i have a work dinner. lots of people, i'm just going to not eat and hope no one notices.
i was just invited to a work lunch on that same day. smaller group of people. in a room -- all sitting around a table.
i cannot bow out of this event as i am new to the group and really i just can't. i CANNOT tell people that i am cleansing.
gimme all your tips on 'fake eating' and looking like i may be eating and/or suggestions on what to do.
i am NOT STOPPING. that is for sure.
a little more info -- it will probably be a catered lunch with a selections of sandwiches, salads, drinks etc.
ideas? i'm not going to eat -- i just don't want to call attention to myself. new and all.
put food on my plate and move it around. what to do, what to do?
day 21Originally Posted by glugginginNYC
following you, tara!!....you did good!!....im hungry for food, too and as it turns out today my tongue is mostly pink! its been a great day...i feel so good and i look bettter and healthier than i have in many years!! i feel good about ending my first and very successful mc! i am amazed how easy doing the 21 days was...I have loved reading everyone's postings and it made all the difference in the world to have you and res and precious and everyone to pump me up, answer my questions and just be there! good luck all you newbies...do not get discouraged....it is so worth doing it right and hanging in there! love you all! meddy
On day 7 of my first MC, and it's exactly as everyone said. Not as great a day as everything that came before. Actually had an afternoon crash time when I almost fell asleep at my desk! I don't look fab, I'm freezing cold, eyes are more glassy, and my hair is listless.
BUT...I know this is just day 7 stuff, right? Please please tell me day 8 will take me back to my energetic MC self. I was so psyched to feel lively, SHARP (which used to require caffeine and ginko biloba), and only a little bored about the lack of food ritual (I'm a real foodie, albeit a healthy one).
At least my cravings involve savory stuff, like a big plate of roasted veggies! I have no interest in breads and sweets right now, which is a change.
Looking forward to day 8...
Day 15
I am feeling great but getting nervous about when to stop. I can't imagine I feel this good and all my friends are telling me that I am getting to thin and will become sick if I continue. I am not sure what I should do... I started the cleanse on Labor Day I was 158lbs when I started now I am 142lbs. I am following the book to the T and I keep loosing weight. I am 5'8' male, anyone offer any advice/support.
Hi, I'm on day 38 and this is my very first time I have ever tried this before. My goal was to do 30 days the I pushed it back 40 and now I Feel like I can go to 60 days. I've already lost 21 lbs. and inches. So I say Long as you feel well keep the faith and go for it. You have my support -Keeping it Off
So i was looking at my legs and i had big yellow bruises everywhere and it scared me, it explains why my legs hurted so much. Anyway i ate. I feel bad for doing it but i feel good and healthy at the same time? Im starting over in the morning but i feel it was worth me eating earlier in the cleanse(rather than later) to make me realise food doesnt tase as good as you think it does when your cleansing. I ate the foods that i was craving but t didd'nt do anything for me.So im starting fresh tommorow!! But im going to have to overcome some hurdles because my job is very physical and takes alot of energy but i'll give it all ive got.
Ps. i havn't gained any weight back due to lots of running, and i find half a cup of water fills me up??

President's Message
Rob Stewart |
Dear Members of the Court of Federal Claims Bar Association,
Shortly after I joined the Tax Division of the Department of Justice as a newly-minted lawyer, I attended my first Judicial Conference of the then-United States Claims Court. That was in 1988—only a year after the founding of the Bar Association. While I'm sure the panel presentations were timely and riveting, my most vivid memory is of the conference luncheon, where I had the pleasure of sitting next to an individual with whom I enjoyed a lively conversation. Shortly after appetizers were served, I realized that I, a neophyte member of the Court's bar, was hobnobbing with one of its most experienced and respected Judges—Christine Nettesheim (now Judge Miller). This unique opportunity was in many ways thanks to the Bar Association, which provides robust support for the Court's annual judicial conferences and other regular interactive events. One of my goals this year is to ensure that the Bar Association's collaboration with the Court in providing these memorable opportunities for its members continues in the tradition established 25 years ago.
To that end, the Board of Governors and I will concentrate on assisting the Court in maintaining the stellar quality of the signature annual events--the Law Day celebration in May and the fall Judicial Conference—as well as the Brown Bag panel presentations in which both bench and bar are active participants. Moreover, we will pursue the Association's educational mission, consistent with our 501(c)(3) status, through the annual Carole Bailey Scholarship that recognizes substantial commitment to public service (and had 89 applicants in 2012), our writing competition, and scholarships covering expenses related to the Association's activities. In addition, we will continue to provide to Association members timely and thoughtful updates on significant Court developments, through our publications, the periodic Newsletter and Inside 717.
A recent innovation to encourage membership in the Bar Association is a standing offer to existing members: if you refer a new member to the Bar Association, your membership for the year is free. We hope that in the coming year we will gain many new members, in all practice areas within the Court's jurisdiction. We are fortunate to be a part of the Court of Federal Claims community, and our ultimate goal is to ensure that the Bar Association enriches your practice before the Court.
In closing, the Board of Governors and I thank you for supporting the Bar Association and encourage you to become actively involved.
Best Regards,
Rob Stewart
U.S. Court of Federal Claims Bar Association

Conference on Islam in Europe
Check against delivery!
Opening Speech
Dr. Ursula Plassnik
Federal Minister of European and International Affairs
Conference on "Islam in Europe"
Diplomatic Academy
Vienna, 23 March 2007
Opportunities for a European Islam
Director Jiri Grusa,
My dear colleague, Foreign Minister Sven Alkalaj,
His eminence Reis-ul-Ulema Mustafa Ceric,
President Anas Shakfeh,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for this opportunity to talk about a subject that is both sophisticated and complex. And I should like to begin my speech by using a metaphor.
As Europeans we have reached out both hands: one hand outwards - to our Islamic partners around the world; the other hand inwards - to our Muslim fellow citizens in the European societies.
At our Conference on "Islam in a Pluralistic World" held in Vienna in 2005, we dealt mainly with the hand stretched outwards. As foreign minister of a country committed to dialogue between religions and cultures, this theme is important to me:
- A priority of Austria's EU Presidency therefore clearly focused on support for improved coexistence and better mutual understanding in our global village - at the edge of the universe, as Jiri Grusa put it so magnificently.
- The Middle East is a region that urgently requires peaceful and enriching coexistence between Muslims, Jews and Christians. Here too we are committed to the fostering of dialogue and pluralism.
After my visit to Israel and the Palestinian Territories in December last year, I decided to host a conference to be held at the end of May in Vienna that will pay special attention to the contribution of women in peace processes. I am delighted that, among many others, US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, my Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni and Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, the pre-eminent spokeswoman of the Palestinian delegation at the peace negotiations in Madrid and Washington, will support my initiative by coming to the conference.
- Dialogue between religions and cultures also has a global component, which has to be worked upon pro-actively. Various groups and institutions, active in this field, have offered their services as a platform. Such interest and efforts are very positive, and indeed I welcome them. But all these partial initiatives are not enough:
My conviction is that it is the United Nations that is the indispensable umbrella of international dialogue between religions and cultures. We do not need a new institution. On the contrary, we must anchor the basic idea that responsibility cannot be divided in this world, still more deliberately in every effort undertaken by the United Nations. And most importantly, the universal application of human rights and fundamental freedoms for each individual - be it man or woman, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu or Christian - must, without reservation, continue to be at the centre of our endeavours. We must not allow one religion to be played off spiritually against another.
We thus also need the United Nations to avoid misleading paradigms already at the very outset. I also heartedly recommended this to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon during his recent visit to Vienna, and offered Austria's support and cooperation for all his initiatives in this field.
At today's Conference we want to deal with the hand reaching inwards. We will be addressing questions which - to my mind - are among the most sophisticated, but also most fascinating: the way we deal with diversity practically in a modern Europe, the direct reality of our lives in societies that have become multi-faceted, within the pluralistic core of the European way of life.
On Sunday, the concrete realisation of this way of life, the European Union, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary. Originally founded as an economic community, its members have developed it, step by step, into a community of shared values and a community of law as we know it today - a community strong enough to unite diversity, drawing on its strengths to shape the future.
This holds particularly true for the diversity of religions, traditions, cultures and identities that distinguishes this continent. In this context the European Union is firmly based on the solid foundation of the Enlightenment: reason, the separation of state and religion, of individual and political rights and freedoms, self-determination of the individual and equal rights for men and women. The core of this way of life is to impart and sustain pluralism.
Ladies and gentlemen,
"Islam in Europe" or "European Islam"? - The discussion as to whether a "European Islam" exists is mainly a discussion within Muslim circles. It is not the task of the majority society to impose terms and concepts on minorities. I deliberately state this also as a Protestant - not as a woman; for as women we do not constitute a minority.
I am referring to a remarkable document of Muslim self-conception, the "Graz Declaration of the Conference of the Leaders of Islamic Centres and Imams in Europe" held in 2003, and I quote:
"The conference participants hold the firm opinion that in the same way as there is no African, Arab or other ethnic Islam, there is no "European" Islam. Only the term "Islam in Europe" can aptly express that an Islam of a European nature is certainly developing out of the dynamic self-conception of the single Muslim faith."
Based on this awareness let me also point out that contemporary Islam in Europe has basically two roots - roots of people who, as you, Director Grusa, said so beautifully, have not only roots but also feet and heads: the autochthonous Islam and the Islam induced by migration to German-speaking countries particularly since the mid-sixties.
Islam dates back to the eighth century in Europe - in Spain, Sicily and southern Italy. In Greece, the Balkan states, in particular in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as in Bulgaria and Romania, we have Muslim communities who are today - without any shadow of doubt - embedded in Europe.
Thus Islam is an autochthonous religion on our continent, deeply rooted and grown together with Europe. And in this Europe of the future, which is again growing together, we will again become aware, to an increasing extent, of this component of our European diversity.
A word on Austria: The recognition of Islam in Austria in 1912 is the legal expression of this political and cultural reality and of concrete experience with the Hanefitic school of Islam of Bosnian provenance. I therefore thank our Bosnian guests, the Foreign Minister of Bosnia and Herzegovina Sven Alkalaj, and his eminence Dr. Mustafa Ceric, the leader of Bosnia's Islamic community, for coming today to discuss this topic with us.
In addition, Islam was also induced in Europe by migration and refugees during the second half of the 20th century: from Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, the Arab world, Asia and Africa. I was particularly struck by the diversity of Islam during my trip to India, the country with the second largest Muslim population in the world.
For your orientation: In 1950, there were about 800,000 Muslims living in Europe. Today the figure is somewhere between 15 and 20 million.
Longstanding Muslim communities, such as those in Bosnia and Kosovo, are absolutely prepared to defend their identity if they consider it threatened by the import of fundamentalist ideologies or extremist traditions.
At the same time, however, migrants are faced by a quasi-automatic Europeanisation of their religion in everyday life. And some are concerned that from their perspective an Islam defined as "European" may imply a loss of fundamental beliefs; so from some quarters you hear the call for unity in faith.
Does this mean there is concern on several sides?
It is a reality that faith is lived in a respective environment: in line with cultural and historical traditions, within the respective social and political framework.
Islam in Europe is a reality in the everyday life of people. As of necessity, it is thus a conglomerate of progressive, liberal, traditional and orthodox components.
Be this what it may: When questioned as to the compatibility of Europe and Islam, the European Muslim communities gave a clear answer. The final declaration of the 2003 Graz Imam Conference, from which I have already quoted, is among my favourite documents in this sphere and clearly states:
European Muslims are aware of both their religious identity as Muslims and their social identity as Europeans.
And a bit further down the declaration says:
"Within their secular structures, Muslims must also show their loyalty to the constitution and the law."
I think this provides both confidence and direction.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Europe has always acknowledged its diversity, and it is such diversity that constitutes the very wealth of this continent.
Diversity is enrichment. Diversity needs clear rules, for a lack of organisation will create insecurity. Dealing with diversity is therefore a special political challenge, and to my mind the theme "Islam in Europe" has been left to itself for too long a time.
Understanding and confidence is something all of us need more urgently with every day. In our European countries we must succeed in meeting each other in an atmosphere of open-mindedness, which ultimately makes coexistence easier for all of us.
Nobody should feel pushed to the margin of our societies.
Allow me to add here a short quotation by Amin Maalouf:
"It is often the way we look at other people that imprisons them within their narrowest allegiances. And it is also the way we look at them that may set them free."
We need to deal with religion in general, and Islam in particular, in a responsible manner. But in the age of globalisation we also need practical orientation, instructions for action, and a modus operandi in our global village. A theme that is very delicate not only in Austria, but also a theme that can certainly be tackled. I am stating this as a Protestant who remembers that even in Vienna it was not always a matter of course to add steeples to Protestant churches.
Integration is only successful if both sides are working on it: the framework conditions for a successful integration have to be developed and made available by the local structures of the new home country. However, this offer has to be accepted.
We view the European "majority societies" as open societies. It is also understandable that we are interested in cooperating above all with Muslims who have an analogous understanding of openness. Strict separation on our side would mean rejecting one of the best offers we can make.
Diversity is also a sophisticated management task of social policy: In European societies this above all means long-term integration into a solid community of values with full respect for the dignity of each individual.
The most updated description of this basis of European values can be found in Article I-2 of the new constitution that has not been ratified everywhere: "The Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law, and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities."
Three weeks ago in Vienna we opened the European Fundamental Rights Agency precisely with this understanding. Its task will be to support the pronounced European fundamental rights structure and help to promote its further development so to speak "upstream" in the field of drawing up legislation by providing advice.
On the occasion of its opening Franco Frattini, Vice President of the Commission, rightfully claimed that in spite of all openness towards individual groups of society we will to an increasing degree have to turn to individual rights and their protection. Europe must represent its values in a self-confident manner: "A Europe that refuses to embrace its values, the values of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, is a Europe condemned to lose, as it will always be weaker than those who are more secure than us in terms of identity."
In spite of my respect for religious groups and their collective concerns I have little sympathy for the idea of creating "group rights" for individual communities on a merely religious basis. The ruling in Germany, which created a big stir a few days ago, shows how delicate this subject is. Would a Europe that grants different - i.e. additional or fewer rights - to a Muslim or Jewish girl than to a Christian girl or a girl without religious affiliation be the sort of Europe we really want?
At this point I should like to make a short comment on a subject that I personally consider to be of pre-eminent concern: the contribution of women. The full participation of women is a source of strength for any society, and their active and also visible contribution is decisive for its development.
I am therefore convinced: We have to encourage measures which strengthen the active participation of women in all fields of political, economic and social life.
The Conference of European Imams and Pastors held in Vienna in April 2006, which attracted more than 200 participants, devoted a whole chapter of their final declaration exclusively to women:
"In Islam men and women are equal partners who are mutually responsible and who have equal human dignity. The right to learning and being taught, the right to work, financial independence, the active and passive right to vote and participation in social discourse are pillars that are to safeguard their status."
And it continues very clearly:
Any kind of violation of women's rights should be criticised and fought. Forced marriage, genital mutilation, honour killings and violence within the family have no foundation in Islam.
I am particularly delighted that your Conference will devote a separate contribution to this theme, and I hope that it shall also be repeatedly addressed in the general debate.
Ladies and gentlemen,
A few remarks on the subject youth.
Successful integration in Europe and in Austria is a central issue of the future for young people in particular.
The challenge of how politics deals with this question at the domestic level is a big challenge:
- Muslims in Europe, above all Muslims of the younger generation, often live with historical images that are fed rather by conflict than by common interests.
- Young people of a migrant background seem to be turning to Islam to an increasing extent. Symbols, such as the headscarf, are experienced as something that creates identity. Occasionally one gets the impression that such symbols are becoming of an ever increasing value.
Together we are responsible for turning the notion of cultural diversity in everyday life into a reality, with our feet planted firmly on the ground, more than has been the case so far. We owe this to the younger generation.
Here, education is decisive: I am deeply convinced that we can make young people a credible offer for a positive future which will be accepted if the framework conditions in the fields of basic and further education and training are ensured.
Another aspect that needs to be addressed is the fact that many Muslims in Europe unfortunately do not have more than basic education, which ruins further career prospects in the labour market.
We must prevent groups of young people from losing themselves in frustration and a lack of perspective, from exacerbating these bad feelings in their circle of friends or within the family, and thus from entering a spiral that gives them the feeling there is no solution or way out of this social dilemma. No youth must reach the dead end of self-denial or the denial of other persons.
It is thus our task to convince young people that there is no situation from which there is no way out. For this we have to encourage young people. Let us get those people who have asserted themselves in society and let them talk publicly about how they did it. Let us give confidence through giving successful examples.
State and society can support the long-term integration of Muslim youth in many ways. Let me mention a few examples:
- By ensuring the provision of religious education in Islam which meets European standards with regard to basic and further training for teachers, the quality of the means of instruction, and educational concepts for children and youth.
- Through the introduction of a European curriculum for religious education. Austria has taken an important step by establishing a fully-fledged university study programme entitled "Islamic religious education" to train teachers of Islam for secondary schools in Austria.
- By establishing faculties of Islamic theology, as well as Imam training programmes at European universities and teacher training colleges.
- Through society's support of Muslim initiatives which emphatically and determinedly speak out against teachings and traditions that contradict fundamental European values and do not have any roots in Islam.
- And lastly, but by no means least, through addressing questions of media globalisation to an increasing extent and in a more deliberate manner. The Internet entails the danger of radicalisation, we are aware of that. But it also offers the opportunity to hold a trans-national debate. The state and Muslim organisations should counteract the challenges of this media through orientation and cooperation. They should also clearly caution against contents that might endanger coexistence in Europe.
Let us invest in the education of our young people. In this way we invest in a more successful future for our continent.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Dismantling bogeyman stereotypes and building friendly images is a modern European quality - spawned through painstakingly overcoming centuries of conflict across our small continent.
The European way of life respects faith in its manifold forms. It is the basis for tolerant and successful coexistence in Europe.
The enhanced and more effective integration of Muslims into this life model shall be a rewarding challenge for all.
On this occasion I would like to express my explicit thanks to Professor Anas Shakfeh for his work. He is an outstanding personality who has always tried to achieve mutual and common understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims. Thank you, Professor!
We know that dialogue becomes credible only if it is engaged in by all sides. Such discourse is not ritualised talking at cross-purposes, but genuine dialogue, with necessary deliberation and readiness to become involved.
Ladies and gentlemen,
We, on the Austrian side, are prepared to redouble our efforts to foster and engage in such dialogue every day anew.
If it succeeds, the effect will be twofold:
- a better understanding of our common European identity that will in turn confer confidence,
- an example in Europe and far beyond of a contemporary and future-oriented European-Islamic life model that draws its strength from a successful combination of Muslim religious identity and a solid foundation of European laws and values.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.

So I bought a 3DS today. I had some giftcards from Christmas I haven't used and thought why not. I never really wanted a 3DS, because I have a DS Lite which works great still, but there are some 3DS games I always wanted. So yup, got my 3DS, now I just wait until October!
Also I got Mario Kart 7 because Mario Kart is super fun woooo!

text: Here are some pics of my current setup. I've got some new foams on the way. As you can see, these are nearly worn down. Things fit very well under the Slipstream body. The front body posts are on the lowest setting and the rear are on the next to highest setting. I've only been using my foams and hence driving on road lately since it's so warm in TX. I find this car to be best on road.

Will two track pads working on two different computers in the same room interfere with each other?
My husband and I would both like to upgrade to the new Lion operating system, but our desktop computer keyboards do not have track pads built into them. If we were to buy two of these new Magic trackpads, would they interfere with each other when we were both using our computers at the same time? (Computers are side by side....)

1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer
Will work fine.
Once each computer has a trackpad paired to it (pair them one at a time),
You might consider:
-Open SysPrefs/Bluetooth
-click Magic Trackpad in left hand column
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, select show more info
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, select Add to Favorites
-click on gear icon at bottom of left hand column, Rename, change name of Magic Trackpad to something unique for each computer
This should prevent one computer from stealing the other's Trackpad when its Trackpad batteries die.
Also, tape a label to the bottom of one.- Answered by Chris S from San Jose

- Music & AudioHow to Boost Your Audio's Stereo Image
There's no doubt that wide stereo sounds are pleasing to the ear. It can bring a mix to life or make individual elements shine. It's certainly a subject I get asked about a lot and something that many producers seem eager to be able to master.
Here's a rundown of the different methods we can use to boost the stereo image of both our whole mix or individual instruments. Of course some of these are more sensible options than others when it comes to producing a coherent, intelligible mix. It's worth taking a minute before you turn your new stereo enhancer plug-in up to 11.

As producing completely 'in the box' fast becomes the norm, it's essential we maximize the potential of our computer set up. Of course, improving our computer hardware and investing in new sample libraries is one way to do this—but another is to seamlessly wire together our applications using Rewire.
Rewire is often underestimated and in many cases goes unused. Using Rewire correctly can actually expand your sound palette, avoid unnecessary rendering and even add extra processing tools to your DAW. Let's take a look at how Rewire works, some of its history and a few situations we can use it in.
Read More… - Music & AudioAudio Warping in the Cubase 4 Sample Editor
Whether you are working on a doubled vocal part, the drum track or a bassline, that one slightly out of time note just stands out and brings the whole production down. Of course we can always just go for another take and record the part again, but it may seem a shame to have to do that if the part is otherwise perfect, and sometimes it is something you only notice when the other musicians have gone home!
It may just be that you have a vocal part from another project that you want to use in a remix, and you want to change the timing or duration of some of the words or syllables. In this tutorial I'm going to take a look at the powerful Sample Editor in Cubase 4 and show how we can use the Free Warp feature to alter the feel of a vocal part and also to correct an out of time djembe recording.

Not long ago, transient designers were only available as hardware processors. Now, a number of DAWs and plug-ins are dragging the technology into the digital domain. With all these new emulations and interpretations of a classic processor becoming available, it's well worth familiarizing yourself with what could become an essential part of your production process.
Read More… - Music & AudioHow to Set Music to Film Using Markers & Timewarp in Cubase 4
If you fancy having a go at composing music to film, one of the first obstacles you will encounter is how to synchronize the music to the action in the film. Whether you are using real or virtual instruments, you are going to have to make the music follow the picture, and if you are working to a brief they may specify exactly where they want sections of music to start and finish.
In this tutorial I'm going to look at how we can import such a film into Cubase 4 and compose some music for it. I've put together a short nature sequence with butterflies and a spider (this is not going to win any Oscars, but it will suffice to practice with!) and I've written an imaginary brief from a producer specifying what should happen at certain timecode points in the film.
Read More… - Music & AudioHow to Set Up Side Chain Compression in Cubase 4
In past tutorials I have covered side chaining in Reason and touched on side chaining effects busses in Logic Pro, but after a few emails on the subject, I felt it was about time to cover the slightly less transparent side chaining method that Cubase 4 has adopted since the introduction of the VST3 protocol.
I'll cover side chaining using gates and compressors for varying effects and results. Obviously this isn't one for the more seasoned Cubase user but it seems there are still some people out there that are slightly baffled by the process. Hopefully this will clear things up for those concerned.
Read More… - Music & AudioUsing Hitpoints and Markers in Cubase 4 to Create a Tempo Track
Sometimes when you are recording a new track it is good to turn off the metronome and auto-quantize using your software, just hit record, and play from the heart. A spontaneity and more human quality can be captured in the performance. This works particularly well with solo guitar or piano.
Or maybe you want to use some audio from a live recording or a studio session where no click track was used. When it comes to adding other sequenced parts to audio that has been recorded in this way it can be difficult to get the timing of the midi notes right. The metronome and auto-quantize will be out of sync with the audio.

However, the output can seem a little unpredictable. In this tutorial we're going to look at using Livecut to generate some fills from an audio drum loop. We will then edit the results, and with a bit of cutting and pasting create something more subtle.

Since we knew which house we were looking to buy, we just had Julia help us with making the offer and eventually selling our other house. She did an excellent job getting our house staged and listed. Julia has a lot of experience with fixing up houses, so that helped us enormously when we had to do some small work to get our place ready for selling.

A random, but interesting thought for everybody
Then there are other times that are interesting, unique and great to read. Those articles are the ones I try and localize so that I may write my own column using their idea.
Here goes another one.
Sports Illustrated's Joe Poznan's (winner of the 2011 National Sports Writer of the Year) recently wrote a column for SI.com, titled For Your Soul, that made me wonder for hours and I still haven't come up with my answer.
The premise is this: You're trapped for eternity in rush hour traffic in downtown Dallas and the only thing on the radio being played is Justin Beiber. The devil offers you one chance at leaving the traffic for a beach in Hawaii, unlimited bar and a big-screen television with every channel imaginable.
The deal was you can pick any athlete in his prime and what sport they'd play. The devil, on the other hand, sets the terms. Posnanski's example is you might choose Mike Tyson in his youth (prior to the ear-biting) and boxing, but the devil can pick Ali, when he was young and knittable, in a big ring. (If a team sport is chosen the rest of the team is filled with random individuals of equal talent.)
Get the idea?
Now, so this makes sense for a Yazoo City newspaper, let's limit this idea to just high school players from Yazoo County. You get to choose a player from when they played high school in Yazoo, but the devil gets to set the terms.
For instance, you could pick Manchester's Maggie Hughes and running, but the devil could turnaround and pick the former Benton star Annalee Pierce and have the face off in a marathon. What would you think of that race?
Or you may pick Fletcher Cox and football, but the devil picks Matt Peaster and the game is played in the New Orleans Superdome for its fast turf (remember, the other 20 players are equally talented).
Would you be confident in either of those choices to get out of the eternity of downtown Dallas rush hour? Having lived in Dallas for nearly 18 years, you may want to choose wisely (especially if you think Yazoo gets busy at 5 p.m.).
It can be any sport and any athlete. The only restriction is the athlete had to of played their high school days in Yazoo county.
Who would you pick? It's not easy is it? Whatever you choose though, I'd love to hear it. Send me an email to
with the athlete you'd want to send you to that beach in Hawaii where the drinks are free.
I'll even go first.
I'd pick Manchester's Mary Moses Hitt and tennis. I don't care who the devil sends out or what type of surface the match is played on. An undefeated tennis player is an undefeated tennis player.
I look forward to reading your selections while I work on my tan, drinking my free drink.

text: After finishing a Rugged Maniac 5K race in Southwick, MA in the Fall of 2010 (which was neither Rugged nor Maniac-al according to my humble opinion) we started looking for a new challenge. Eventually, my attention was caught by an facebook ad for an event called "Tough Mudder". Dissatisfied with the Rugged Maniac and similar-length/difficulaty races such as the Warrior Dash and Spartan Race (partially, because they do offer 8+ mile and 48 hour races), the Tough Mudder looked like a formidable challenge. First, there was the distance of 11 miles, then the elevation changes since the race was held in a ski center with some snow still around, and finally the nature of obstacles.

September 15, 2004 In August, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) launched an HIV/AIDS treatment project in Villa El Salvador, a poor suburb of Lima with a population of 350,000. The project will offer comprehensive care to 300 people and aims at providing an alternative model for fighting AIDS in Peru. Though the prevalence of HIV is relatively low in the country-0.3 percent according to official figures-it is sharply concentrated in the capital city. The start of the MSF project coincides with the launch of the ministry of health's national AIDS treatment program. But the poorest patients still face obstacles to access the treatment. "Everything points to an explosive situation," says Cedric Martin, MSF head of mission in Peru. "AIDS is likely to become a big problem over the next ten years. By piloting a model for simplified and decentralized treatment, MSF can assure free access to treatment for the poorest and alleviate the load the health authorities have to deal with." In addition to comprehensive treatment, which includes treatment of opportunistic infections, MSF is developing a number of complementary activities. There is the option of home-based care for those who cannot visit the clinic. The patients receive not only medical, but also social and psychological support. They can get free and rapid testing close to their homes and MSF is developing tools for informing patients and their caretakers of what is needed for successful AIDS care and treatment-a difficult task given the high illiteracy rate in Villa El Salvador. MSF will work closely with the ministry of health in the Centro Materno Infantil San José. Months of preparation and negotiation preceded the project's launch. "It was a very emotional occasion," says MSF volunteer John MacRae, MD. "For years we have seen our patients die around us. Of the group of two years ago, almost nobody is left. Now, finally, we can give them hope that they can continue their lives in relative health." As Cedric Martin explains, "MSF will use simplified drug regimens that make it easier for patients to adhere to their treatment stick and to provide free care for opportunistic infections. We will implement much simpler, and cheaper, methods for testing and analysis. Through our decentralized approach we will be better able to follow how patients are doing, not only medically but also socially, and trace defaulters. And we will continue our fight for reducing the price of HIV-related medicines and making inexpensive medications available in Peru." |

Here at PopSci we're always looking for the best and baddest in robotics news. But this week -- National Robotics Week -- we'll be ratcheting up our coverage, highlighting some of the most thought-provoking, future-driven concepts in robo-tech each day.
What if we could use our pollution as fuel? That notion seems intractable within the current energy paradigm, in which so many of our pollutants are byproducts of our fuels. But it's precisely that idea that inspired Mexican artist Gilberto Esparza to create "Nomadic Plants," a working art-bot that uses polluted water to power its fuel cell and feed the plants and microorganisms living symbiotically within the bot's body.

Homes in Halethorpe are remarkably similar to the adorable 1930's era cottages and bungalows that made nearby Catonsville an in-demand location. Like Catonsville, Halethorpe offers many cozy, three bedroom properties with dormer windows, vinyl or wood siding and large shaded porches with manageable fenced in yards and shady trees. Halethorpe is a charming community with a small town feel that is only a short drive from two of the Mid-Atlantic region's busiest cities.
Halethorpe also has its own growing economy, with many light-industrial buildings in the town's business district and companies looking to escape the traffic and congestion of Baltimore's downtown are relocating to this revitalizing community. As businesses in Halethorpe continue to thrive, more and more new housing developments are being built to accommodate the needs of new residents who desire a custom home at a reasonable price.
By way of a ten minute drive to Baltimore's famed Inner Harbor; Halethorpe residents can enjoy the countless cultural attractions that the unique and diverse city has to offer. From hundreds of fabulous restaurants and shops to cultural attractions like the Maryland Science Center and the National Aquarium in Baltimore, to large sports and entertainment venues like Camden Yards, Ravens Stadium, and the First Mariner Arena, there is always something to do in the waterfront city.
Halethorpe is part of the well regarded Baltimore County School System, one of the state's best. Halethorpe Elementary boasts award-winning faculty and the prestigious University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), is located just minutes away in Catonsville.
In August 2008, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Halethorpe, MD was $225,143. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.

New Study Measures Effect of Strenuous Exercise on Soldiers' Immune Systems
- Categorized in: August 2011, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Hepatitis
It may be possible to predict a soldier's infection risks during and after strenuous physical exercise by pre-exercise immune system status or from a blood sample taken at rest, according to a recent study.1
According to the Swedish researchers, strain is put on the troops' immune system in a military setting in many ways. This includes strenuous physical activity, sleep deprivation, caloric deficit and, environmental and mental stress.
"All these factors lead to immunological changes, resulting in a high rate of dropouts because of infections during military training," they wrote in "Immunological Alterations Used to Predict Infections in Response to Strenuous Physical Training."
For the study the researchers conducted a small scale pilot investigation that was designed to study immunological changes in the blood in 10 troops from the Swedish Coastal Ranger team before and after six days of military training and then to search for useful predictors of infections.
The troops worked, walked and kayaked as a group for 20 to 24 hours per day. During the training, four of the members had to leave because they were not able to perform the exercise due to illness. They were assigned to the Failed group. The other six completed the training and were assigned to the Completed group.
Blood samples were drawn from the troops in the morning of the first day of the study and immediately after the soldiers reached the military camp on day six. According to the researchers, only three of the measured variables differed between the Failed and Completed groups.
"The MESF (molecules of equivalent soluble fluorochrome) of CD3 on CD8+lymphocytes (T-cell receptor density on cytotoxic T cells) and the percent CD8+CD3+ lymphocytes (cytotoxic T cells) before the six days of training was lower and the CD4/CD8 ratio was higher in subjects who later failed to complete the course," the authors wrote.
The researchers said that the findings indicate that the six days of military exercise "did not cause a major immune system depression."
"Nevertheless, 4 out of 10 soldiers became ill and failed to complete the training period. It would have been possible to accurately predict these four subjects before their engagement in the training course based on their higher CD4/CD8 ratio and lower CD3 expression on CD8+ lymphocytes and percent CD8+CD3+ lymphocytes."
The researchers suggested that a larger scale study with a focused analysis on T-cell surface receptors should be conducted to verify the results.

Lady Panthers end regional drought
VARNA – The Putnam County Lady Panthers captured their first regional championship since 1984, defeating the Midland Timberwolves on their homecourt Thursday 40-32.
Coach James Barnett said it was a very good team win with the Lady Panthers battling foul trouble and facing a Midland team for the third time this year.
"These types of games are never easy; you got to come out hard especially when you see a team like Midland for the third time this year. The girls battled through some poor shooting and some foul trouble, but we rebounded well; we played defense pretty well; and at the end of the night, we were on top," he said.
