|Bristlecone pine

|Scientific classification
|Bristlecone pine
|A Great Basin bristlecone pine grove
|Scientific classification
The bristlecone pines are three species of pine trees (family Pinaceae, genus Pinus, subsection Balfourianae) believed to live longer than any other known organism: over 5,000 years. Bristlecones grow in scattered subalpine groves at high altitude in arid regions of the Western United States. The name comes from the prickles on the female cones.[1]
There are three closely related species of bristlecone pine:
At least some of the three species can hybridize in cultivation, but the ranges of wild populations do not overlap. The Colorado River and Green River produces a 160-mile (260 km) gap between the ranges of P. longaeva and P. aristata and the northern Owens Valley provides a 20-mile (30 km) gap between the ranges of P. longaeva and P. balfouriana.[3]
Bristlecone pines grow in isolated groves just below the tree line, between 5,600 and 11,200 ft (1,700 and 3,400 m) elevation on dolomitic soils.[1] Because of cold temperatures, dry soils, high winds, and short growing seasons, the trees grow very slowly. Even the tree's needles, which grow in bunches of five, can remain on the tree for forty years, which gives the tree's terminal branches the unique appearance of a long bottle brush.
The wood is very dense and resinous, and thus resistant to invasion by insects, fungi, and other potential pests. The tree's longevity is due in part to the wood's extreme durability. While other species of trees that grow nearby suffer rot, bare bristlecone pines can endure, even after death, often still standing on their roots, for many centuries. Rather than rot, exposed wood, on living and dead trees, erodes like stone due to wind, rain, and freezing, which creates unusual forms and shapes.
The bristlecone pine has an intrinsically low rate of reproduction and regeneration, and it is thought that under present climatic and environmental conditions the rate of regeneration may be insufficient to sustain its population.[4] The species are on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list.[4] Bristlecone pines are protected in a number of national parks such as the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of California and the Great Basin National Park in Nevada,[5][6] where cutting or gathering wood is prohibited.[5]
The green pine needles give the twisted branches a bottle-brush appearance. The name bristlecone pine refers to the dark purple female cones that bear incurved prickles on their surface.[1][6] These ancient trees have a fittingly gnarled and stunted appearance, especially those found at high altitudes,[7] and have reddish-brown bark with deep fissures.[8] As the tree ages, much of its vascular cambium layer may die. In very old specimens, often only a narrow strip of living tissue connects the roots to a handful of live branches.
The bristlecone pines are the oldest single living organisms known (though some plants form clonal colonies which may be many times older). The oldest bristlecone pines are single plants that have been alive for a little more than 5,000 years. These very old trees are of great importance in dendrochronology or tree-ring dating.
A specimen of Pinus longaeva located in the White Mountains of California was measured by Tom Harlan to be 5,062 years old in 2012.[9] The identity of the specimen is being kept secret by Harlan. This is the oldest known tree in North America, and the oldest known individual tree in the world, although a clonal individual, nicknamed "Old Tjikko", a Norway spruce in Sweden is 9,550 years old.[10][11]
The other two species, Pinus balfouriana and Pinus aristata are also long-lived, though not to the extreme extent of P. longaeva; specimens of both have been measured or estimated to be up to 3,000 years old.[12]
The Rocky Mountain population is severely threatened by an introduced fungal disease known as white pine blister rust, and by pine beetles.[13]

Sh. Salih: Keep in mind that Allah sent down this book to revive all the hearts and He didn't exclude any specific type of heart, meaning that all believers are addressed within the Qur'an. For a sinful believer, it shows him the way to repentance, and for the righteous believer, it shows him the way to consistency, and for whoever in between, it shows him how to get further from sins, and closer to righteousness. It is a revival for each heart, and a guide to good for everyone, and a means for mercy for everyone. It's not to be said that the Qur'an is intended for a specific group of believers. It's indeed for all believers, Jinn & Humans. "Say, (O Muhammad), 'It has been revealed to me that a group of the jinn listened…' and So which of the favors of your Lord would you (two) deny?" It's enough honor for Qur'an that it is Allah's speech. And it's impossible for the hearts that He created, to truly revive by anything greater than the Qur'an, the speech of their very same Creator and Maker, Glory is to Him. So never put barriers between you and the Qur'an.
Never think it's not addressing you personally. We are all addressed in it, and we all find our guidance in it. In it, the wise finds wisdom, the scholar finds knowledge, the sinful finds repentance, and the righteous finds gratitude; everyone.
But remains a group whom their hearts have been sealed, about whom Allah said, "it is upon them blindness." But this doesn't include any of our viewers. These are rather the disbelievers who refused to believe it at all.
But whoever believers in the Qur'an, the speech of his creator, can always find guidance in it, day and night.
If he's in authority, he finds "And they ask you, about Dhul-Qarnayn." if he was tested with illness, he finds "And (mention) Job, when he called to his Lord." If he spends his night in stress, he finds "and we saved him from the distress." If he couldn't have children, he finds "And (mention) Zakarriyyah, when he called to his Lord: 'My Lord, do not leave me alone (with no heir) while you are the best of inheritors.'" If he was seeking knowledge, he finds "Oh my Lord, increase me in knowledge." Everyone! A businessman finds "but only (in lawful) business by mutual consent." A parent finds, "Allah instructs you concerning your children." A child finds, "and to parents, good treatment." No one was left out from being addressed in the Qur'an."

End The Insanity With Weight Loss And Follow These Smart Tips
It's high time you changed your ways! The excess weight you are carrying bothers you more than ever. You think about the problem all of the time, you are spending lots of money on larger clothes and you are even starting to experience joint pain. Continue reading to learn how to get started with a new you thanks to weight loss.
Fish is a super-food, and dieters everywhere fail to take advantage of its amazing nutritional benefits. Packed full of protein, omega-3, and other healthy components, fish makes you feel full without loading your body full of calories or saturated fat. Any form of shellfish is also an excellent choice, providing the same health benefits.
Sign up for a race or charity walk. Having a specific goal and deadline will give your workouts purpose beyond just losing weight. The structure of a workout plan will also keep your workouts varied from day to day and will prevent boredom. Plus, after feeling the rush of crossing the finish line, you may just be inspired to become a regular racer.
When eating to lose weight, try to eat more slowly and chew your food more thoroughly. This will give your stomach time to signal your brain that you have had enough. It can also help you feel more full on less food, since you've chewed so much more than usual.
A good way to lose weight is to make gradual changes to your diet and lifestyle. A lot of fad diets promote dramatic changes that are unnatural and can't be continued over a long period of time. In doing that, you're more likely to gain all the weight back or even more. It's best to make gradual changes.
To enhance weight loss, chew your food carefully and really savor every bite. This helps your digestion and allows more time for the "fullness" to kick in. Mindful eating gives more satisfaction with less food, and helps eliminate eating due to boredom. A single bite of "forbidden" food does not have many calories, so if you can truly enjoy that one bite without needing to eat the whole thing you will not feel so deprived and you will be able to learn more self-control.
If you want to lose weight, you should get serious about making fruits and vegetables a part of your life. Not only are fruits and vegetables healthy, but they are generally low calorie. Weight loss menus should include a high percentage of these foods in proportion to other proteins and fats consumed.
To help you lose weight, consider grabbing a drink of water instead of snacking on chips or popcorn. Water helps you feel full without providing any extra calories. Try to consume at least 6-8 servings of water a day. You can even give the water a little extra "pop," with a splash of lemon or lime.
A good tip to help you lose weight is to make small goals as well as long term goals. If you only make a long term goal, it can be really easy to lose sight of what you're doing each day. Smaller goals make it easier to take weight loss one step at a time.
Stop thinking about losing weight. In other words, give yourself time to think about something else, and to spend your leisure time doing something other than exercise. Everyone needs a break sometimes, and taking time off to forget that you are trying to lose weight will give you time to regroup and rest for a while.
If you are trying to lose weight, use the Internet! Sure, you can learn about diets online but it's even better if you join an online weight-loss community or forum. Diet forums can help you stay motivated and offer you the opportunity to help others by sharing your own experiences. There's an online community for nearly every diet.
Eat food containing chili peppers. The chili peppers increase your metabolism, enabling you to use up food more easily. Your blood flow increases due to your body trying to counter the heat, causing your body to use more energy. If you combine chilies with other strong spices such as garlic and ginger in meals, it will help to aid your weight loss.
When aiming to drop the pounds, you must identify what triggers you to eat unhealthy foods. Once you discover the reason, you are that much closer to conquering it. Next time you feel triggered to eat unhealthy, picture your goal weight in your mind. This will help prevent you from giving in to temptation.
A great weight loss tip is to drink skim milk for breakfast instead of juice or soda. Studies have shown that people who had skim milk for breakfast consumed fewer calories throughout the day as opposed to people who did not. In addition, you will be getting the protein and calcium your body needs.
Adults should try to eliminate soda and other sugary drinks from their daily routine. They pack on a ton of calories, and will add weight to your body very quickly. Try to replace at least half of your drinks with water. Water will trick your mind into thinking you're full, and you will lose weight much more quickly.
To help you lose weight, you should make sure to chew your food thoroughly. It takes a while for our brains to interpret information on fullness. This means if we eat quickly, we tend to overeat because our brains do not recognize that we are already full until it is long past this fact. By chewing your food thoroughly, you will slow down your eating pace, which will ultimately help you to eat less and prevent the consumption of extra calories.
Try using ginger in your diet. When you consume ginger, either as a spice in food or as a simple drink of ginger tea, it has a positive effect on your digestive system. It increases enzyme activity in your stomach, causing you to break down food more quickly and increasing your metabolism. An increased metabolism makes it easier to lose weight. Ginger can also lower cholesterol levels and help to keep you heart healthy.
You've had enough of being overweight and want to move on with your life. You have acknowledged that excess weight is creating hazards for your health along with your finances. This advice will help you lose weight.

In stores
QUARTET (2012, Anchor Bay, PG-13, $30) -- For his directorial debut, Dustin Hoffman delivers a lively but superficial film about the importance of second chances. Set at a retirement home called Beecham House, the action centers on a trio of former opera singers (Pauline Collins, Billy Connolly, Tom Courtenay) who must convince their cranky old partner (Maggie Smith) to join them for a gala benefit concert. It's a decent premise that would have benefited from more depth and a few less musical interludes. It's so featherweight, in fact, that it makes "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" seem like Shakespeare. Extras: featurettes and Hoffman commentary.
JACK THE GIANT SLAYER (2013, Warner, PG-13, $29) -- As he proved with the "X-Men" movies, director -- and Jersey boy -- Bryan Singer is a master at blending special effects with good, old-fashioned story-telling. He stumbles a bit with this fairy-tale adaptation thanks to a wobbly tone and a supporting character (played by Stanley Tucci) who takes the film off course. That said, "Jack" is jammed with cool moments, most of which involve a trio of feisty humans (Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Eleanor Tomlinson) defending themselves to the death against bloodthirsty giants. Extras: featurette.
STOKER (2013, Fox, R, $23) -- A sense of slowly creeping dread attaches itself to nearly every frame of this bizarre coming-of-age saga from South Korean master Park Chan-wook ("Oldboy.") Mia Wasikowska is mesmerizing as India Stoker, an 18-year-old whose grief over her father's (Dermot Mulroney) sudden death is relieved by the surprise appearance of her charming uncle (Matthew Goode.) "Stoker" is full of shocks so the less you know about this mind- teaser the better. See if for the performances (including Nicole Kidman's turn as India's mother) and for the twists that will blow you clean away. Extras: deleted scenes and featurettes.
WEB THERAPY: THE COMPLETE SECOND SEASON (2013, E1, unrated, $20) - - Dispensing with the one client-per-episode format of the first season, this addictive series now delves deeper into the life and times of the hilariously self-involved Internet therapist Fiona Wallace (Lisa Kudrow). Some of the best bits involve the guest stars, including Rosie O'Donnell as Fiona's acerbic editor and Meryl Streep as a blond, over-sexed counselor offering to "cure" Fiona's gay hubby (Victor Garber.) You've never seen Streep like this before and, boy, is she killer funny. Extras: deleted scenes and director's cut of the Streep shows.
KNIFE FIGHT (2013, IFC, R, $25) -- In this drama about the power of spin to win elections, a savvy political fixer (Rob Lowe), his newbie assistant (Jamie Chung) and a seedy investigator (Richard Schiff) juggle work on behalf of three clients, including a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormack), a blackmailed California senator (David Harbour) and an idealistic doctor-turned- gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss). The film is well-acted and fast-paced. But there's nothing here that hasn't been done as well -- if not better -- on TV's "Scandal" and "The West Wing." Extras: none.
THE LAST EXORCIST: PART II (2013, Sony, PG-13, $30) -- In contrast to the original "found footage" horror flick, the sequel is a more traditionally shot but still effective chiller that picks up where the first film let off. Nell (Ashley Bell) is now living in a halfway house in New Orleans, seemingly free of the demon who once made her life a living hell. But, as you might imagine, Nell is not in the clear just yet. Cue an attack by suicidal birds and the appearance of secret voices masquerading as radio static. The otherworldly Bell keeps "The Last Exorcist" interesting even when the action takes the inevitable turn toward the conventional. Extras: commentaries and featurettes.
THE MONK (2013, New Video, unrated, $28) -- Based on Matthew Lewis' gothic novel, the latest from France's Dominik Moll ("With A Friend Like Harry") is a compulsively watchable thriller about the rise and fall of a 17th century monk named Ambrosio (Vincent Cassel). Pride and a lack of compassion lead to Ambrosio's ruin but thanks to Cassel's hypnotic portrayal, the flawed preacher remains a strangely sympathetic figure. Gorgeously photographed in both shadows and sunlight, "The Monk" tackles big themes with haunting grace. Extras: featurette.
LET MY PEOPLE GO (2012, Zeitgeist, unrated, $28) -- With this French-language bauble, director Mikael Buch seems to be aiming for the bouncy farces that Pedro Almodovar delivered early in his career. Buch not only employs Almodovar heroine Carmen Maura in a supporting role but he uses a color scheme straight out of Pedro's playbook. Unfortunately, this slim saga of a gay man (Nicolas Maury) forced to move back home with his dysfunctional parents after breaking up with his Nordic husband (Jarkko Niemi) is more grating than whimsical. After a novel beginning, "Let My People Go" goes nowhere. Extras: commentary track and featurette.
AMERICAN MARY (2012, XLrater, R, $15) -- Canadian sisters Jen and Sylvia Soska follow up their cult favorite "Dead Hooker in a Trunk" with an even more outrageous horror entry. This time around, cash- starved med student Mary Mason (Katharine Isabelle) finds herself drawn into the seedy world of underground surgery and body modification. If that wasn't grisly enough, Mary opts to exact revenge on a professor who's done her wrong. "American Mary" occasionally plays like "Nip/Tuck" directed by Eli Roth but the extraordinary Isabelle pulls it all together with a strangely rich, resonant performance. Extras: featurette and commentaries by the Soska sisters.
AT LONG LAST LOVE: DIRECTOR'S DEFINITIVE EDITION (1975, Fox, G, $25) -- The Peter Bogdanovich-directed, Cole-Porter-saturated musical flop has been recut for its Blu-ray debut and while it's not "the top" it sure is "de-lovely." Cybill Shepherd, Madeline Kahn, Burt Reynolds and Duilio Del Prete star as a bunch of swells who switch partners in between swilling Champagne and dancing 'til dawn. While a stronger plot would have given the songfest a much-needed momentum, there's plenty to enjoy, including a genuinely funny turn by Kahn and a handful of intimate production numbers (which are not lip-synced but sung live as in 2012's "Les Miserables.") Extras: none.
SAFETY LAST! (1923, Criterion, unrated, $30) -- A true acrobat, silent clown Harold Lloyd can make thrusting his hands into his pants pockets look graceful but in this 1923 stunner he does a lot more, including climbing the side of a skyscraper in a long sequence that's both funny and suspenseful. Lloyd is playing a country bumpkin who moves to the big city where he winds a wage slave at a big department store. Lloyd is a master at grounding the laughs in characters you care about. "Safety Last!" is first-rate. Extras: newly restored Lloyd shorts, commentaries, intros and a feature- length doc.
ENTER THE DRAGON: ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION (1973, Warner, R, $50) -- Forty years after its release, Bruce Lee's first and only U.S. production remains an adrenaline-charged thrill ride. Lee plays a British spy sent to a mysterious island owned by crime lord Han (Shih Kien) in order to both participate in a martial arts tournament and to collect intelligence about Han's illegal operations. The plot allows Lee to flatten opponents by day and expose a human slavery ring by night. With fine support by John Saxon and Jim Kelly, as well as a funky score by Lalo Schifrin, "Enter the Dragon" is a groovy audience-pleaser. Extras: featurettes, commentaries, cards and patch.
THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN (1977, Shout Factory, R, $27) -- Strangely similar though not nearly as compelling as David Fincher's "Zodiac," this true-crime thriller looks at a series of brutal murders in Texarkana back in the late 1940s. B-movie director Charles B. Pierce ("The Legend of Boggy Creek") does an outstanding job re-creating the slayings and eliciting an authentic performance from Ben Johnson as a tough Texas Ranger. Too bad Pierce subverts the suspense with too many ill-advised attempts at humor. Extras: commentaries and "The Evictors" also directed by Pierce.
LILO & STITCH: 2 MOVIE COLLECTION (2013, Disney, G, $30) -- Now that Disney has released most of its classics in high-def, they're getting around to issuing a number of lesser-known titles in Blu- ray and DVD packages, including the lushly animated "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" and "The Emperor's New Groove." The best of the recent bunch is "Lilo & Stitch," a 2002 'toon about a girl (Daveigh Chase) and her alien (David Ogden Stiers). Adding to the fun: a soundtrack packed with Elvis Presley songs. Extras: the straight-to-DVD follow- up "Lilo & Stitch 2."

If the Seattle Seahawks are to make a legitimate playoff run, there's no doubting that Percy Harvin would be a huge help to the effort.
The 'Hawks have proven that they can win and win big without Harvin, but just imagine how much better the team would be with one of the most explosive players in the NFL back out on the field.
It's being reported that it may be possible for Harvin to play for Seattle in its first playoff game this year, and that would come on January 11th in round two. According to Ed Werder of ESPN.com, it was a great throwing session with quarterback Russell Wilson that convinced head coach Pete Carroll to keep Harvin off the IR, which would have ended his season:
A throwing session Percy Harvin had with quarterback Russell Wilson on Monday, which went extremely well, helped persuade Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll not to place the wide receiver on season-ending injured reserve, league sources said.
Sources said Harvin, who has played in just one game this season following offseason hip surgery, looked "amazing" during the session and that the Seahawks believe it is possible he will play when the team opens the postseason at home Jan. 11.
The plan for now is to have Harvin rejoin practice Thursday.
The risk here is that if for some reason Harvin can't go, Seattle would be wasting quite a valuable playoff spot. It's a high risk high reward situation, but the pay off is definitely huge if Harvin gets all the way back onto the field.
It sure sounds like he'll be ready to go.
Harvin only has one catch so far during this injury-riddled season.

Listen Labs
Opus Streaming TrialAbsolute Radio Labs recently read about the Xiph.org Foundation's efforts to finally free the internet world of the potentially litigious and quasi-legal status of audio codecs that are current in use for audio streaming. They have developed a powerful new, royalty free audio codec called the
'Opus Interactive Multimedia Codec'.
We've been avid fans of their open source and open license work in the past by adopting the OGG-VORBIS and OGG-FLAC codecs for streaming but this new codec is really important for a few reasons:
- The code behind the codec is completely open source and platform agnostic.
- All the patents involved are under a FLOSS-compatible license. Usage of technology covered by these patents is licensed under the liberal BSD license and is completely royalty free.
- Technology that has been donated from Skype means very good quality at low bitrates.
- Technology imported from past Xiph.org projects means superb, near lossless quality at higher bitrates.
So, with all this in mind, we wanted to have a play! Because everything is very beta currently we had to get the gaffer tape out in order to get some streams going so please don't shout at us if it's a bit temperamental! Bear in mind you will be connecting to a beta version of a streaming server that is being fed from a beta encoder using a beta codec library. It's pretty darn BETA! (Have we said it's beta enough yet?)
Absolute Radio Labs managed to get it working and working pretty well if we do say ourselves. We believe this makes us the first radio station in the world to stream in opus, broadcasting 24/7 across its stations.
Currently the easiest way to listen is to download the latest Firefox and click on one of the streaming links below:
How do you think it compares to our low-bitrate AAC+/HE streams or our high bitrate MP3 and OGG streams? Let us know! Use our normal contact pages to get in touch.
Lossless Streaming Trial (OGG-FLAC)
We are currently broadcasting our services without compression using OGG-FLAC technology. This will no doubt be pleasing for all you audiophiles out there but do bear the following points in mind:
- This is a trial - we don't guarantee it to be perfect!
- Lossless streaming takes up a LOT of bandwidth. It averages 1 MBit/sec.
- Broadband only!
- If you have a heavily contended or just generally ropey broadband connection you will experience buffering
- If your broadband connection has restrictions (such as download limits) bear this in mind. You may end up using all your allowance very quickly.
Using it
You can find the links to our OGG-FLAC streams on our 'Other Devices' listen page.
We recommend you download and use VLC. It's available for most platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Syllable, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, QNX) and supports OGG-FLAC streaming.
We would appreciate any feedback regarding performace or whether you find this useful. Use our normal contact pages.

12.) Have pizza at Little Italy
Little Italy is a pretty well known place among UGA students. However, I had never actually tried it for myself. So one day when my friends and I were debating where to eat after bible talk, I was thrilled when Little Italy was brought up as a suggestion. My friend and I split a four cheese pizza and it was delicious! Their slices are enormous and they're pretty inexpensive. So if you're looking for a place to eat pizza that's cheap, close by, and not Your Pie, Little Italy is always a good option.
love this place
